    I got FJ, and used the “other” name – Pharos of Alexandria. However, 1/3 on DDs.

    Yeah, Howard, I have to agree – Lisa was demonstrative.

  2. Howard says:

    Ouch, missed all the DDs and FJ. Best (?) I could come up with was Acropolis, “acro” meaning height. Justin never recovered after that first DD. It was a 2-person race the rest of the way.

    Lisa’s facial contortions were just too much for me again. And boy, did she look glum after FJ ended.

    Surprised no one knew the short French artist. Same with Joseph’s father and the law Ireland passed in 1997. And the trumpet blower–come on!

    I did about average in the Jeopardy game tonight, but got the FJ (which was a dead give away).

    Another tough final as we got another triple stumper.
