Lou, I hate to disappoint you but I have never seen that movie. I agree with you about the buzzer. Both ladies were pretty quick on the buzzer but Amy was just too fast for Frances. I thought Frances was good though. Like you I want to see Amy continue to win.
Do you realize what you’re saying when you write “NO clues went UNcovered”? That all clues remained hidden.
I other words, you are saying the exact opposite of what you mean. What you ought to say is “ALL clues were uncovered” or “NO clues remained hidden.”
Okay, Doug, we’re fine with changing it. Idk why, but it makes sense to me either way.
@Judy, Thanks for pointing out that typo. It’s fixed.
I don’t see what’s wrong with it either, sounds perfectly correct to me as well.
Only a typo, I’m sure but the 33rd game is followed by the 34th, right?
Well at least we got a triple solve to start off Martin Luther King’s day. Still was not surprised Jorge missed that daily double about that medical drama that has been on the air for 18 years. Francis and Amy were pretty fast on the buzzer today. Speaking of the t rex, the Land before Time had featured that dinosaur as the terrible lizard king still though it brought back great memories for me from watching that movie. @rhonda and @Jacob do you both remember Land Before Time? 1 out of 3 daily doubles isn’t bad. Keep the wins going Amy!
Lou, I remember taking my son to see that movie when it came out but I don’t actually remember the movie itself.
