    Great game and congrats to Ray!
    I thought the last daily double (Midway) was way too easy to be a $1200 clue.

    What a terrific game! I can’t help but think the outcome might have been different had Michael not messed up near the end on that “bloody nose” question that cost him the lead.

    Kid lit is one of my many Achilles heels. And the only stumper I knew was the NYC vending machines. As a teen, I’d put in a penny, slide the selection lever back and forth, and sometimes get more than one piece.

    Those last two DDs were pretty soft.

    Yes, I also recall seeing ‘Charlotte’s Web’ turn up several times before on FJ, but I never read the book.
