Once again, Howard writes everything I was going to say. A few points to add: Amy sounded really stilted during her interview blurb. It looks like public speaking isn’t her thing. Although I am quite confident that it has happened before, I don’t recall it happening twice in a game where all three get it wrong (the “no harm, no foul”).
This game just hit me as rather boring. It didn’t feel like a “high energy” affair. I thought it’s supposed to be fun! Maybe that’s just me, though. The prospect of literal thousands of dollars might make some folks serious and/or uptight.
Final was easy for me, because I lived there. I was mistaken early on when I was there, because I thought “kahuna lapa’au” was “doctor”, but the first word was something else, but def NOT kahuna!!
@Jason, That article I linked to has all kinds of definitions for kahunas. For “Kahuna Lapa’au” it says: Expert traditional healer. Medical practitioner.
Yeah, but, when I was there, I was told that that wasn’t it. The place I worked also had a native culture and healing center. They knew the details.
Now I recall – “kauka lapa’au”. That was the right term.
thanks for sharing that, Jason
Figured out the FJ quickly, although it had nothing to do with the fact I had a great cheeseburger and umbrella drink at Duke’s on Waikiki Beach in 2015.
I really thought Ferdinand would nail that easily and send Amy back to her eight ERs. She hung in there despite not getting a shot at any of the DDs.
Surprised no one could get the Spanish-lyric Disney film, the study of sound,
or the two-word address to the Pope. Not surprised no one knew the McKinley HS show, one of my all-time favorites. And no one knew how many feet in a mile? I guess the word “statute” threw them off. “Restrained virtue” was tricky but I guessed it. I’ve patronized that Broadway booth once or twice. Long ago, they had a satellite facility at the World Trade Center.
I did surprisingly well in the game today, but flubbed the FJ.
