They had to be pulling our leg, and yet none of the contestants got the FJ right. How could they have possibly missed this? Actually, it could have been none other than Forbes magazine. I mean, this was as slam dunk as they come.
idk, Rick — if you are not aware of the significance of the 400 in the clue, then I guess you are gonna go for a magazine that showcases fancy homes or society events. That’s what I did (House Beautiful). And it’s not like I’ve never seen that list referred to as the Forbes 400, I just never think of it that way.
There were plenty of clues (Caroline Astor, ballroom, 400 people) in the FJ answer so all I could say at the time was “Thank you!” I mean, this obviously was an elite magazine catering to the rich and famous so the Forbes magazine immediately came to mind. You know, my mother got it right too.
That’s terrific, Rick, that you and your mom got it right. Congrats to both of you
Ugh, we got a repeat of Friday’s show.
Huh? This was no repeat.
In my market we got Friday’s show again.
We start the week with a triple stumper.
