As usual, got about half the TS correct. Got all DD and FJ. Franklin was my first choice. Thought for a moment about Jefferson, but, I thought he was later, so, stuck with Ben.
That steel and rose question, I raise an objection. I watch a lot of Forged in Fire, where they make that steel. There, they use the Syrian city name, not the shortened one presented. My (very brief) research indicates it’s the city, and not what they said.
Congrats to Brian for his win. He strikes me as a middle level, may or may not win it all.
Yeah, I researched it. That steel was wrong. That ain’t it!
My first choice in FJ was Benjamin Franklin, and then I switched it to John Adams. Darn!
Franklin seemed SO obvious that partway through I switched to Jefferson.
These were good players and past champions, yet no one knew the synonym for flood? How many could there be? Or the reproductive cells of a mold? Or what part of a sentence the verb must agree with? Or the genre of “The Lottery” and “The Gold Bug”? Wow.
DDs were tough. The last two got me.
