I was 2/3 on DD. I thought the first was “rock and a hard place”. However, I do really wish that Scott had just said “Who is John Galt?”, as that is a question, like “”Who can it be now?” or “What’s eating Gilbert Grape?”
In any case, a good game. I think they threw Vince a bone with “trade balance”, really. I know it’s”the fallacy of anecdote”, but, I’ve strictly only heard “trade deficit”.
I typed are trade deficit and trade balance the same thing in the chrome browser and the answer I got back was no.
P.S. that photo of Richie Aprile was just before he went to the big pizzeria in the sky
Upon reflection, I now think “trade imbalance” was the proper synonym.
What a terrific game! Strong players, no dumb answers, a few stumpers. They answered so many clues that I blanked on. Although my answer on that reversal was “trade deficit,” I was outraged when Vince was dinged for “trade balance.” Glad they righted that wrong, and I thought Vince would win when he got Final correct. Scott is impressive; one of those 20-somethings (like Mattea and others) who have such breadth of knowledge.
Final and the last two DDs did me in. I saw both Bond films but that didn’t help. I love the “Skyfall” song (Adele). Got the NY county (my sis lives there), Steinbeck book, Vera Farmiga show, revenue blank. Hard to believe only one of 3 got that FJ from two years ago–what a gimme!
Yes, I had forgotten about that 2 years ago clue. I was so surprised at the results, I had to go see what happened!
In your explanation of the answer, you stated that, of the 3 recent Bond movie songs that won Oscars, only #4 and #5 fit the clue. It’s actually #4 and #6.
Thanks, jk! That’s what I meant to type. It’s fixed!
