You're a lucky man, Matty! Looks like a swell show to me, a pity they cancelled.

I thought the implication in the clue that their flights are faster now would have steered more away from a defunct airline.Elijah Baley wrote:I think it was super nega-baity. Copies of Pan Am posters for flights to Hawaii have been around for years. I guess Hawaiian Airlines would seem like a good guess if one had never seen those posters, but I think they were definitely trying to bait people into the wrong answer on that one.hbomb1947 wrote: I also thought the Hawaiian Airlines clue was kind of neg-baity; Pan-Am was well-known for pioneering trans-oceanic routes with innovative (for the time) aircraft that involved many intermediate stops, so Oakland to Honolulu would have totally fit in with that.

That's very possible; I can't remember the clue exactly but I latched onto "Hawaii" and "flights" and "1930s" (or "40s" - I can't even remember that right now).seaborgium wrote:I thought the implication in the clue that their flights are faster now would have steered more away from a defunct airline.Elijah Baley wrote:I think it was super nega-baity.

When we first got married, she skated and coached on weekends, but she hasn't done either in the last few years. I need to encourage her to get back at it.This Is Kirk! wrote:That's awesome.

Easy. Qantas trips my Hawley-Smoot filter.dhkendall wrote:Wait, how on earth do you know Australia's is called Qantas?

Because all US airlines are called Air America, right? It could have just as easily been Canadian Air, Canadian Airlines, Canada Airlines, Maple Leaf Airlines, or Snerfurgleburgen (why not? Australia's is called Qantas...)Bamaman wrote:Also, the maple leaf on the tail was a pretty big hint to Air Canada even if you have never heard of it.

State Abbrev. - RIND came to me immediately and the abbreviations fit, so no need to brainstorm peel, zest, skin. Loved that category, easy money and it was clear they wanted the state names until Alex gave his explanatory remarks, presumably for the benefit of slower thinkers at home. Also would have gone TDD on that one.
FJ was brutal. I should have just stared at the picture, but not sure that would have helped me get to LFB. Given my low get rate, I think I need to gun for a lock if I ever get on the show.
