The triple stumper about the “membrane” in the eye is factually wrong. The membrane is the conjunctiva. The answer to the clue is not a membrane.
Jason, would it be okay if the clue just said “this part of the eye” etc.?
That would be clearer, and would likely lead to a correct response (or any response). I can tell you, if a player was a doctor, they would be confused, because the conjunctiva does have blood vessels (bloodshot eyes? That’s it). Just poorly written.
Thanks, Jason
Cris needs to watch more movies. He’s good, but not as good as my recent favorite, Matt Amodio (and not just because he’s like watching Albert Brooks’ son). He does two things that give him great advantage: only giving a last name, and employing the construct “What’s [Blank]?” It doesn’t happen often, but people miss because they have the wrong first name. The latter is just, well, economical, and frees up the mind to concentrate on the actual answer instead of worrying about phrasing. Genius. Can’t wait until TOC.
I picked AAA (Travel Guide) for FJ, but I knew that wasn’t going to leave the dock. As for the ‘Green Book’, I never heard of that publication.
Happy to see Tory getting final right today. Good game once again by Cris!
