Trying to figure out why Carter reminds me of a young John Cusack.
I looked it up to check. Mistress Page’s first name was Anne not Margaret.
@Anne McClusky, Anne Page is the daughter of Margaret Page.
For the LANDINGS category clue “In 2019 China’s Chang’e 4 probe made the first landing here, a place not even glimpsed by humanity until 1959″ the question accepted, What is the dark side of the Moon?” is INCORRECT. There is no such place. The correct question is: What is the far side of Earth’s Moon? There is no permanent dark or light side of Earth’s Moon.
I completely agree with you on the incorrectness if the response. However, if you stood on the sun there would appear to be a dark side of the moon. 😜
Wrong – if you stood on the Sun (not recommended) you would only ever see the “light” side.
Matt and Carter were quick on the buzzer today and Bridget couldn’t catch up to them. Let’s see if Carter can get a streak going next week. I always enjoyed reading Shakespeare back in grade school because Romeo and Juliet along with Richard the third were my favorite plays.
thank you………the show was pre-empted with 10 minutes to go 🙁
