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!

Neither nickname came to me… 1/3 correct answers.
I knew the right country for the first nickname. Didn’t know the other nickname, but picked the right neighbor
I’ll say 2 right also. It should be easy for political professor Josh
I didn’t know either nickname, VJ, but the other nickname reminded me of Japan’s nickname Land of the Rising Sun, and that put me in the right part of the world. That’s when the first nickname hit me and gave me the answer.
I think 2/3 will get this one.
I missed the most obvious inference early this morning and had no guess. I’ll predict another 0/3.
