Final EZPZ, DDs were not kind. Some loose play during this game, including “Chicago” as a capital city. Francis was up and down more than the elevator at Macy’s NYC during the Christmas season. He flubbed that big DD and also misread some clues, including when he said “untouchables” for the 6-letter caste. The French-named bicycle gear was the only listed stumper I knew for sure.
Agreed, Howard, Chicago was totally unexpected. I thought he might say Canberra or Wellington.
Your description of the ups and down of Francis is hilarious!
People call me Mr. Mushroom, because I’m a real fun guy.
