    I was 1/3 on DD and missed FJ (again). I guessed at something in the Middle East, but didn’t get closer.

    I, too, said Agamemnon, so, I’m in good company!

  2. Howard says:

    Good game, smart guys, Evan just a little too quick on the draw.

    Second straight day DDs/FJ got me. I lamely said Agamemnon for the king.

    The “hidden/supernatural” clue is $400, not $2000, and is in the Crossword Clues “O” category, not Fashionable Names. Same category for the 4-letter oven. Frankly, I was surprised no one got either of those. The “guy from Seymour” was tough, but I knew who sang “Wild Night.” The “I.M.” designer I was sure one of them would get. I know close to zero about fashion and still knew his name. But in truth, those guys put me to shame on so many clues.

    We got a triple stumper since today’s final was a tough final due to that pesky geography clue.

  4. VJ says:

    I got that last king of Troy DD because of this clue on Monday’s Spoiler Talk:

    MYTHS & LEGENDS: $1000: This last king of Troy was originally named Podarces, which means “the swift-footed”

    It was a triple stumper in a July 1994 game.

      So did I, VJ! Can’t believe I remembered it!

      • VJ says:

        Rhonda, I put all the old clues for the week together on Sunday, so I wasn’t really sure if I saw that clue on Sunday or Monday but I’m glad it was Monday and we both benefited from it. 👍
