It was quite a strange week. We began with a triple solve. Then the pendulum swung completely in the opposite direction with 3 wrong. Then it swung back to 3 right! When that happened, two players were tied for the lead and the winner was determined by a tiebreaker. The hardest clue for me was the Fictional Family and the easiest was Wednesday’s Play Characters.

Carter Lockwood returned on Monday for Game No. 2 but he was defeated by Henry Rozycki. Henry also won Tuesday’s game but he lost on Wednesday to Christine Whelchel in a tiebreaker.

By Friday, Christine was a 3x champ with $59,601 in the plus column. She will return on Monday to try for a fourth win.

Here is the “ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 1905 5th GRADER?” category from Wednesday’s game.
