How often does someone secure a lock game without having a shot at a single DD? Challengers were good, just not quite up to Tom’s level. Really didn’t know Final, but Algonquin was my educated guess. Dorothy Parker would have given it to me for sure.
Kinda surprised no one knew the 3-B Sinclair Lewis character or the ingots age. Totally shocked no one got that Final from two years ago.
Well, it wasn’t exactly the blow out I was hoping to see, but I agree that Tom’s runaway sans DDs was impressive. Also, Ken didn’t say Tom has a BIG lead. 🤣
I thought it was a little weird that they had a clue about an Algonquian word, but you probably only pick up on that when you know the FJ answer beforehand. Noel Coward was a member of the Round Table too, btw.
