I truly felt the first two clues should have yielded 3 correct responses and they did, sort of. One response on Monday included a Roman numeral that shouldn’t have been there so only Tuesday’s response counted for a lone triple solve. The hardest clue of the week is a toss-up between Wednesday and Thursday. I voted for Wednesday despite the online complaints that Thursday’s clue was confusing.
