    Why didn’t Amy get credit for guessing “aerie” in the first half?

    What a fantastic comeback by Amy. It was looking like a runaway for Matt till her late rally.
    Thought she was toast after that disastrous $4K loss on a very gettable DD (Maryland community) that sank her to $1200. (My niece lives in that town now.) That last DD about the elements and the final were too tough for me. Best I could come up with was “Aegean peninsula.”

    Thought that $2K stumper about the Danish philosopher was a gimme. I bet our “4th podium” person got that one too.

    A seemingly tough FJ to be sure, and I thought that I knew a little about WWI.

    Well not a bad game today. I remember Mel Gibson in the Gallipoli movie many years ago.
