Terrific game tonight; anyone could have taken it. Those stumpers were tough; only one I remember knowing was the singer of Stand by Me. I did know the Final. I vaguely remember a family who lived down the street about 60 years ago and were from what was then called Surinam.
No, I remembered the singer of “Stand By Me” also.
Aruba also has Dutch as an official languages
I wasn’t aware that Suriname was a former Dutch colony. Well, as they say, one learns something new every day.
what a dumb wager by Sri, yet he won. If only Cindy had doubled up!
Well Sri has made us very proud to begin his stint as the new champ. Hope he wins 5 or many more games like Tyler did. Suriname was also the daily double response Roger Craig got previously. A great game and now looking forward to see Ken hosting next.
