I was 1/3 on DD but got FJ. I have always said, were I to get on the game, that I would use the local name, like Rapa Nui or the Hellenic Republic. This Final, I wonder if they would give it to me if I said “Las Islas Malvinas”. I also thought, “What is Las Islas Malvinas (the Falkland Islands)?”
Just a thought.
I would have bet even money that Ken would have accepted ‘Las Islas Malvinas’ as well. If not, then the judges would have certainly intervened on your behalf. No, the Falkland Islands have been synonymous with Las Islas Malvinas, and way before Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dispatched the Royal Navy to retake the islands back in 1982. In fact, I’m sure that everyone on this site would concur.
Didn’t watch, but it appears Ashley tanked from the get-go.
FJ pretty obvious, as was the US-Canada quintet.
2nd DD not impossible; maybe one of the others knew it.
Can’t believe no one knew the Vermont statue guy.
I believe I may have seen General Grant and/or Sherman in long-ago times.
Ashley just wasn’t as sharp tonight as she came up with a slew of incorrect responses. As for the FJ, it was without question a dead giveaway.
All 3 DDs were missed resulted our seventh skunking. I am sure William Weyser will say darn those daily doubles to the contestants.
I did, but at least, we got a Triple Solve.
