Two of the clues this week were correctly answered by the whole panel. Every other day, there was one correct response. The only way I can judge the difficulty of these clues is to hark back to the days when I was around the same age as the students. I surely would have known the two triple solves so they were equally easy. The only one of the other three that I can honestly say I would have known back then was Wednesday’s. (The book was younger than me. I saw the movie, too). The other two would have been equally hard.
