    It was another splendid game, and I did well above average. By all rights, the FJ should have been a shoo-in as I was well aware that Liechtenstein was a worldly renowned financial center. Darn!

  2. Jason says:

    2/3 on DD and missed FJ. Of course, I went with the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, while the Principality was correct. Oh well!

    In re: this game vs yesterday, all I can say is, “What a difference a day makes”!

    That is one of my favorite Poe stories with the famous last words: “For the love of God, Montresor”

    I knew the father of angling but could only come up with the “Compleat” name of his book.🤣

  4. Howard says:

    I was all over Europe on FJ. Monaco, Vatican City, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein. Probably would have gone with Luxembourg.

    Josh and I lapped up those sports clues, Enzo loved the historical ones. I thought the Poe DD was pretty easy and was sorry Zoe missed it. Fairly safe to say she’d have won if she’d nailed it.

    Was sure someone would know the father of angling.
