I'm sure you've encountered the name of Michael Flatley, aka "Lord of the Dance," at some point in your life.TenPoundHammer wrote:I have never heard of any of the people in that & What Do You Do category. Should I really know those two dancers at $200?
You and the players. Spotted "Welsh poet" and nobody even guessed him?TenPoundHammer wrote:Dylan Thomas was so overvalued at $1600 that I clammed on it.
As soon as the category was revealed, I precalled you making a complaint along these lines. And Michigan was the only one with TOM, if you, you know, ignore the TOM in all the other clues.TenPoundHammer wrote:That Area Codes category was stupid. Is there any reason I should know that 212 = New York when you're not going to give me any hints towards it? Or that Akron is 234? (Of course, Michigan was my only get since it was the only one that had a TOM.)
212 is the area code of Manhattan, and is one of the most well-known in, admittedly, an esoteric field of trivia.
City of >2 million near Buffalo? Gotta be Toronto. Or Chicago, if you ask Watson. Granted, tough to make the international leap here.
201 for New Jersey? I'll give you that there was not enough TOM on this one. Definitely no way to get that unless you know it.
The TOM for 234 (Akron) was that it's sequential. You had to know here that area codes can't start with a 1 (or a 0).
Oof. This is high-school level civics here, at the very most. Maybe even middle school.TenPoundHammer wrote:No guess on FJ! Those are a thing?!
