VJ, I have a question for you or anybody who wishes to answer. On Tuesday, November 29th, there was a $400 question in the category ‘ “Give” or “Take” ‘ where the correct answer was “Take Liberties”. Do you think “Take License” would have been accepted? That was my answer at the time. Thank you for any response.
I can’t say for sure, Albert. Here’s the clue: “In other words, to remove freedoms; it actually means to be impertinent or go beyond what’s allowed”. Based on what I found online for “take license” in a sentence, I would definitely give it to you.
On ludwig.guru, they have a sentence from the New Yorker that begins “But Schwarzenegger knows he can take license with the truth”. They are obviously using “take license” in the same sense as “take liberties” there.
I don’t know if they’d give you a hard time over whether “to take license” fits the “to remove freedoms” part of the clue. I can’t see you making a big deal about it if they did. It was a $400 clue near the end of Round One. 😁
Glad to see a triple solve for final to end the week. Happy to see Cris securing game 20 as he ties with Julia Collins. Keep the wins going Cris!
So who was the person referred to in the question? Sigmund Freud?
Yes, it’s Freud.
