ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHERS: Asked to describe this 4th century B.C. member of the Cynics, Plato called him “a Socrates gone mad” show

The two triple stumpers this week were bookends. Friday’s clue was hardest out of those 2, in my opinion. It would seem that Tuesday’s clue with 2 correct responses was the easiest; however, I personally thought The Oscars on Thursday was easier. They both had good hints in them so perhaps they were equally easy.

Leah Wiegand was the returning champ on Monday. She was defeated by John Focht who was going for a 5th win by Friday. That didn’t happen when Lance St. Laurent showed up and sent John home.
