I knew the answer but i would have been marked incorrect due to my spelling. The show should never have a Final where the spelling of the answer is so difficult.
Albert, True. But it backfired on the cluewriters. No one came close to writing the correct response which was a huge surprise to me with “1,000” standing out in the clue like a sore thumb.
Although, even if spelled phonetically, it should be correct, because it doesn’t change the pronunciation. Especially coming from Farsi or Arabic, many spellings could all be correct. Recall the Libyan dictator? Khadafi, Gaddafi, Kadafy; but, then, that letter that he wrote back to the (I believe) American child, and spelled his name as “Gadhafi”, and that became the de facto spelling. I don’t recall the controversy from 7 years ago.
As is common, I got the two TS on page 1 correct, but none on page 2. Little bit o’ trivia – besides the Borg Warner trophy, the only other major sports trophy named after a business was the Avco World trophy, which went to the WHA (World Hockey Association) champion. Hockey fans might recall the WHA was the most successful challenger to the NHL, operating 1972-79.
But, again – should have been easy FJ.
I guessed Sleeping Beauty on the final, that was a hard one.
And we got a triple stumper as today’s final was a tough one.
Wow, I can’t believe that Scheherazade FJ spelling controversy was over 7 years ago! What happened to my life?
