Wow, Alison was spitting out one wrong answer after another tonight. Didn’t seem to matter once Vidya missed that critical DD. I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out how I came up with that answer, also “Analects” original language.
Three people didn’t know the prefix for trailer?
FJ was gettable thanks to the given year and the word silver. But no cinch.
Yes, it was a lower scoring affair. Alison now has been all over the place. At least she got her TOC spot. Now, I won’t be bugged if she loses.
The prefix for the trailer, I said what Alison said. I thought Analects was Greek, period. Oh well!
So Vidya becomes the second straight player to receive the automatic third place prize. At least Allison is able to get a fifth win here.
Second day in a row where we had a player dismissed in the middle lectern. But Alison is our first 5 day champion of the season and the first player to qualify for the next Tournament of Champions.
