Yo, Adrienne, nice job coming back from way behind. Derek, I’m still in pain from shaking my head for so long when you blew $6800 not knowing the Chekhov play with “cherry” in the title. Good grief. Greg, great get on that last clue to give you a runaway.
Final skunked me. I tossed around Spain, Netherlands, Portugal and came up with nothing. Coincidentally, I read yesterday that Russia has 11 time zones.
Too bad no one knew that terrific Hawn-Beatty movie. Also starred Jack Warden, Lee Grant, Julie Christie, and a teenaged Carrie Fisher. There were two hit movies about China out around the same time, and of course I picked the wrong one tonight, the one I actually saw. The 320′ tower on the Thames was semi-obvious.
A great game, and I performed a tad above average. Well, I nearly got one DD, but missed the other two. Oh well! As for FJ, I had somehow misread it. Yes, it was obviously France!
With how Greg’s been playing overall, I think we have to call him the favorite for the upcoming Tournament of Champions. Greg becomes our second 5-day champion of Season 41 and he’s going to the TOC.
