I knew it was the wrong century, but I said Gulliver's Travels. I got the missed clues of A Moveable Feast, Austria and God's gift (actually I said God given, but I'm still giving it to me).
-
Yep, that was it. I clearly should have been a doctor. The facts that I'm squeamish, not particularly good at science, and am not someone you want in charge during an emergency pale against my qualification of terrible handwriting.
-
I forgot exactly what I said for FJ, but it wasn't right. 6/7/1776, maybe. Which doesn't work anyway. I got the missed clues of Corvair, Amityville Horror, Dr. Doolittle, something I can't read but looks like newlviea, Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice and typo.. For Mr Bean I said Mr Peanut, Mr Bill. I would have gotten there eventually LOL.

I knew there was no way Reykjavik had 400k people, so I went the other end and said Wellington, but I was in no way confident of my answer, not sure that Wellington had that many. So, I don't think reykavik was a bad guess, but really have to side eye Washington DC. I got the missed clue of Grandma moses. I got the entire category of Hell's Kitchen wrong.
-
I said Grieg because trolls takes me to Scandinavia. then I thought ack, it could be Sibelius. And then I said, don't get fancy, you know nothing about composers. Stick with Grieg. Whew. I got the missed clues of Truly Madly Deeply (love that song_, Little Dorritt and Alzheimer. I got the entire categories of meal and anagrams right.
-
I said the Dnieper. I'm not sure on a scale of 1 to 10 how stupid an answer that is, but it's definitely wrong. I got the missed clues of peasant's revolt and Wilkie Collins.
-
I got FJ. Wasn't confident on Le Carre, but I still got it. I got the missed clues of reel, Debbie Gibson, Willie Nelson, microsecond/microclimate, Good Times and Sistine Chapel. I got the entire category of chapel right. And, Ken, technically the Sistine Chapel isn't in Rome. It's in Vatican City.
-
I said Hercules Cliff, and yes, I know Germany's not in Greece. I got the missed clues of grizzly bear and John Irving I got the entire category of shape right. I was having a great night until FJ.I only ran one category, but there were several where I just missed one. Interestingly in state animals and B sea the only one I missed was the top clue.
-
I think they definitely needed the name, not just generic nuclear submarine. A U.S. Navy website says its journey from New London to Norway in 1957 opened up Arctic waters previously ruled by the Soviets So, presumably US Navy website mentions it by name, and it's the only one that opened up the Arctic waters and specifically went from New London to Norway in 1957. Or at least did it first in 1957, clearing the path.

I had less than 0 idea on FJ. I got the missed clues of dept store and go for it. So so night. And I did that exact same thing for the curling parents. Just threw it out there and was shocked it was right.
-
in my defense, I was sure this wasn't right, but I said Donald Trump, because all I could think of was "You're fired." LOL. Gunfire never entered my head and I didn't know how you could throw away fire. But, once the answer was revealed I totally remembered that. I got the missed clues of smile, ursa minor and mopey dopey. I got the entire category of 10 right.
-
I said Peyton Place. Then I changed it to Catcher in the Rye because you'd have to fall to be caught. But, if you were caught it probably wouldn't be noisy. But, I had nothing after that. I got the missed clues of paragon, telemere, Vanity Fair, Little Rock, titian and vermillion. I got the entire categories of fictional females and red right and the entire category of pop culture people wrong. I knew Emma Watson, but couldn't get past Emma. And accidentally said Mike Judge instead of Aaron Judge.
-
I said Afghanistan because 1979 just made me think of Russian invading Afghanistan and I didn't figure the answer was Russia. I got the missed clues of Blue Thunder (not sure where it came from), Priam, stag, and occult. I got the entire categories of Hercules and botany (of all things) right. I thought I was going to get all of cold truth, but I missed the $200. Hate that when they go backwards and I think I've got it all sewed up and I mess up the easy clue.
-
FJ was an instaget. I got the missed clues of antimony, Paraguay and Lady Chatterly's Lover. I got the entire category of money phrase right and the entire category of TV wrong.
-
It took me almost the entire time, but I got FJ. I got the missed clues of The Glass Menagerie, Syracuse, fire plug, nickel, and Rochester. I got the entire categories of hit makers and geology wrong. Terrible game for me.
