It was another terrific game, but I was at a complete loss as to why none of the contestants couldn’t come up with the correct response for FJ. I mean, even a child could have easily come up with it. Yes, I came up with ‘The Invisible Man’ instantly.
Pretty good game. Tim did remarkably well despite two bonehead answers. Nguyen is the equivalent of Smith or Johnson in Vietnam, not China. And Bronze Age failed because bronze is an alloy, not an element.
Final was tough; I had no answer. I was hoping someone would say “Invisible Man” and reignite the controversy about the 2 novels with almost the same name. But their 3 guesses were way better than my blank.
First 2 DDs were virtual gimmes; I whiffed on the third. Thought someone would know the Spanish city thanks to the feast of San Fermin clue. I knew the A&R person but that was a definite toughie. We read the play with Polyneices, but that was 60 years ago and I did not remember any of it.
Usually when I get the final its a triple solve and not a triple miss. I definitely didnt read the book but it seemed familiar from the 67 movies about john cena
I first thought of Billy Bones showing up at the Admiral Benbow Inn in Chapter I of “Treasure Island” — but obviously, he’s not in the title, and I know RLS died in 1894 at age 44. That one was published in 1883, as it turned out, 3 years before Jekyll & Hyde.
