Talk about rough FJs! There were 3 triple stumpers this week and 2 of them were simply lacking in enough context to help the contestants. Nothing in those clues were helpful in narrowing down the possibilities. Tuesday’s stumper at least had a little context. There’s no guarantee that the category “European Literature” will eliminate Great Britain, but it usually does. Associating the year 1805 with a guy who set out to dominate Europe wouldn’t be a misstep either. The clues on Wednesday and Friday both produced 2 correct responses. I’m in no position to judge what was hardest and easiest. I got the first 2 clues of the week thanks to my 19th century studies. The 2 clues I didn’t get were ‘easy’ Wednesday and ‘tough’ Thursday.
