    Why on earth would the two challengers ever write ‘Copernicus’ for the final question? No, the astronomer would have obviously been Johannes Kepler.

    Congrats Tyler on your five game winning streak. It’s been back to back streakers so far for September through November. Looks like our wishes has been granted. Copernicus was not even close. Didn’t Copernicus pass away before Galileo vj? I wonder why they chose him if there were a few other options like brahe or Bruno? This game was a definite runaway.
