Spoiler Talk: CotD (Fri)

Here is the NY Times Clue of the Day for Friday’s game. If you know it (or even if you don’t), you can make a prediction on how many players will get it right and/or leave a hint on the right answer BEFORE the Early Spoiler results are put up, usually by 1:30 p.m. Eastern. (And, yes, we are all aware that the results are sometimes put up earlier elsewhere, but we play fair here).

Take Your Lumps: No late predictions. No changing predictions. No exceptions.

But if you don’t want to read comments about the answer to the clue, READ NO FURTHER. If you do want to talk about it, then click on the link below to see the clue, and fire away! (Check the comments around 7 a.m. Central if Jeopardy.com is not up to date)

FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. We just hint at it. However, it is okay to give possible wrong answers.

Alert: The first 8 words of our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with a short observation is the best way to go.

All comments and predictions on the CotD posts are deleted after about a week, so be fearless!

    I have not yet begun to have enough confidence to say 3/3, so I’ll say 2/3.

  2. JJ says:

    1/3 correct responses today…

  3. JP says:

    Well it looks like I’m the only one who got worked up over yesterday’s clue, so I was probably in the wrong.

    I’ll say 3/3 today.

    • VJ says:

      No, JP, you weren’t the only one. It was a bit shocking to me that my mental world map still puts South America parallel to Africa.

      I’ll say ONE right today

      • JP says:

        I thought the “Firth” -> Scotland inference was pretty obvious, so then you just need to know which famous American navy person is associated with Scotland.

        On a non ToC show, I would probably have said 1/3, but these guys have been extraordinarily impressive, so I’d be surprised if they all didn’t make the connection. But there’s always the possibility of a joke answer or callout.
