Re: FJs for the 3/1/21 week
If you were in high school in 1981 as I was, there was no way you could not listen to 'Don't Stop Believin'" I'm kind of surprised (as of now) only 40% claim to have listened to that song back then. OK, if you weren't born yet that's one thing, otherwise not sure how you could have avoided it. I bo...

Re: Friday, March 5, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I missed Journey. I thought of Queen, read it again and realized it had to be American, and then started cycling through bands that might have had a greatest hit albums on the chart for 600 weeks. Pink Floyd? No. Rolling Stones? No. The Clash? No. Would have written down Duran Duran. I don't get it...

Re: Learned League 88 - Feb/Mar '21
9(6)-9(6) tie for me yesterday. Pretty easy day. Nine people in my rundle got all six right.
I was somewhat offended that my opponent gave me three points for the math question. Converting 3F1 to decimal took maybe a minute, tops.

Re: Friday, March 5, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I got Journey right away and then toyed with Fleetwood Mac, whose song Don't Stop is not only optimistic but was the theme song at Bill Clinton's inauguration. But I knew that their greatest hits had not spent 600 weeks on the Billboard Chart. Also that song is from "Rumours" which was released in ...

Re: Friday, March 5, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I knew this one. Ha :) I couldn't come up with it. I guessed Aerosmith just going on "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" as the optimistic song despite knowing that particular song is not from the '80s. I missed Journey. I thought of Queen, read it again and realized it had to be American, and then star...

Olivia Newton-John: if white bread could sing.
A great trivia chestnut about her is that her grandfather was Nobel winning physicist Max Born.

Obviously the clue writers thought we'd immediately think of I.M.

With the Notre Dame fire a huge news story just two years ago it seemed like the obviou...

Re: Learned League 88 - Feb/Mar '21
Usually there's at least one question per season that makes me feel really old and yesterday's about Potsie definitely fulfilled that role. I knew it as soon as I read Warren Weber. Even though I figured it would play harder than I expected, I was still quite surprised to see that only 28% got it ri...

I thought this game was a dud all around. Just really bad clues overall including FJ.
Another one for Notre Dame, by the way.

Bunny Wailer (real name Neville Livingston) died on March 2nd. Bunny was the last of the original Wailers. Bob Marley died from cancer in 1981 and Peter Tosh died from a gunshot wound in 1987.

Good point. I didn't really think about that.Category 13 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 12:24 amPerhaps the players thought they were looking for the specific shuttle namesake. I momentarily thought that, but it wouldn't have been a problem for me to come up with Columbia.

I guessed chalk for the art question. I had no idea, but thought that might fit the "Street Story ___" part. What art medium might you use to create a street story? Same reasoning here. Pretty lost on devanagari. System, eh? How about "card counting"!?!? At first I thought it was a form of yoga. Th...
