Those astral-twin contestants are @peeayebee and @Trey. 😊 😊 Thanks! 3 Link to comment
Sharpie66 May 9, 2020 Share May 9, 2020 Hello! Finally got caught up. Totals: 2,3,4,3*,3,4* 1 Link to comment
zoey1996 May 9, 2020 Share May 9, 2020 Seems a little strange, not checking in. However, seeing these shows a second time around didn’t help me get a perfect FJ score! 😊 2 2 Link to comment

Oh, you went to Notre Dame too? No, just born Irish. I don't have to pretend on St. Paddy's Day. I'm glad the contest isn't going on during the tournament. I was 2/5 last week. 1 Link to comment
DXD526 May 23, 2020 Share May 23, 2020 Started off the week a woeful 0/2, but recovered to reel off three straight! 3/5. 1 Link to comment
j5cochran May 23, 2020 Share May 23, 2020 Week 37 (or is it week 35, since we didn't count the GOAT weeks): four of five with the asterisk for Swiss Family Robinson. On Monday, I got hung up on the Federalist Papers (it's an Alexander Hamilton thang), and could not come up with the Articles of Confederation. 1 Link to comment
saber5055 May 23, 2020 Author Share May 23, 2020 WEEK 35 • May 18 — ONE asterisk * 171. America in the 1700s. “Every state shall always keep up a well regulated and disciplined militia, sufficiently armed and accoutred” is in No. 6 of these. * 172. Adventure Novels. In this novel the surname of a pastor, his wife & 4 sons is not given in the text; the title was meant to evoke a 1719 novel. * 173. Classic TV Sitcoms. “I Love Lucy” used the French word “enceinte” in a 1952 episode title because CBS didn’t want this word used. 174. Military Slang. This word for high-ranking officials comes from a metal used in 19th century military insignia. 175. Ivy League Geography. This state borders 3 other states with Ivy League schools, but doesn’t have one itself. 1 Link to comment
biakbiak May 23, 2020 Share May 23, 2020 I think I forgot week 34 which was 4/5. Week 35 was also 4/5. 1 Link to comment
illdoc May 23, 2020 Share May 23, 2020 Week 35: 3/5 1* Overall: 90/175 (10*--yea! double digits) 2 Link to comment
Clanstarling May 23, 2020 Share May 23, 2020 2/5. I'd like to say it was because I was out of practice (didn't watch the old tournaments), but that would be a lie. 1 Link to comment
saber5055 May 26, 2020 Author Share May 26, 2020 (edited) The scores are in, folks, and Week 35 has claimed three winners. First award goes to the steady and unwaivering @Clanstarling for consistently achieving the same score for three weeks straight. We like players who are dependable. So, congratulations, and enjoy this high honor. This is YOUR week. Our second and third winners are the brainiacs named @Driad and @Good Queen Jane, both of whom achieved the remarkable accomplishment of being the only players to score a perfect FIVE week. AND an asterisk. Well done, my very oh-so-smart friends. Bragging rights belong to both of you. Congrats. Edited May 26, 2020 by saber5055 7 Link to comment

saber5055 May 30, 2020 Author Share May 30, 2020 WEEK 36 • May 25 — ONE asterisk * 176. U.S. Geography. Touching Canada at Boundary County, the northern part of this state’s Panhandle has been referred to as “The Chimney.” 177. 20th Century Metaphors. If it had physically existed, it would have stretched some 500 miles from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea. 178. Fairy Tales. A familiar chant in this fairy tale continues, “Be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.” 179. Word Origins. P.T. Barnum, whose traveling shows carried musicians, coined this word that now represents something growing in popularity. *180. Presidential Libraries & Museums. Of the 15 U.S. Presidential Libraries or Museums, 3 are in this state, more than any other. * Link to comment
Driad May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 3/5. I was doing well until P. T. Barnum pointed me to the egress. 1 2 Link to comment
j5cochran May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 Week 36: four out of five with the asterisk. I was apparently blinded by the Iron Curtain! 1 Link to comment
