It looked like it was going to be a 2 right answers week by the end of Wednesday’s game. That went south fast on Thursday with a difficult final clue. Things picked up on Friday with an easy final clue. Those were the hardest and easiest clues of the week. I can’t say the difficulty level of the first three clues was about the same. I missed 2 of them!

It’s 0 out of 2 on Thursday because only 2 players made it to FJ! and that was the only day of the week that none of the players who were left got Final correct.
