    I got the Union Carbide TS, because I recall that from 1984, when I was in 8th grade. Methyl isocyanate.

    I concur that Final was rather easy.

    The South Seas DD I reasoned out and got it. Treasure Island? Why not?

    Although it was divided doses, Matt did run the Cabinet Department category. I’ll choose him as my horse in the finals.

    Kind of an easy Final, no? Only other possibility was Marquette and Joliet, but their work was done farther north.

    I thought Kelly would get retro credit for discombobulate.

    Someone ought to have known the most populous city in India.

    Good players tonight, and should be a good final.
