This week, we had 3 days with 2 right and 2 days with one right. Thursday’s clue would have went 2 right, but misremembering the title cost one player the win. I concluded therefore that 4 of the clues were equally hard or easy, depending on your point of view. That would make Monday’s U.S. History clue the hardest but it certainly seemed strange to me to see Jefferson turn up in the responses.

Juliet Mayer won her second game on Monday but lost to Jeff Mitchum on Tuesday. Amanda Ganske won Wednesday’s game and she was a 3x champ by Friday. Amanda will return after a 2-week break for the 2021 Tournament of Champions.
