There’s little doubt that this week’s easiest clue was in Literary Characters on Wednesday. They probably didn’t even need to narrow it down to the 19th century. The hardest was Business Logos. That one could have had something to point to a non-USA brand. Idk how they could have done that, though, with the country name right in the solution. I though the 20th Century assassin would also be a stumper so kudos to Grant for getting that tough one.

Will Stewart won $44,900 in the first 2 games of the week. He had $25,601 from last week, so he departed with $70,501
when Grant DeYoung showed up. Grant was a 3x champ by the end of the week, having won $67,202.

So that was $112,100 to 2 winners and $25,000 to the runners-up this week.

Here is THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM category from Tuesday’s game.
