:( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :( Monday my response was "Who is John Alden? (No, seriously, who is he?)" Searching for him in the archive, I've probably gone 50/50 on clues related to him the last several years, with enough clues in context to fill in the blanks. Not here. Wednesday I ha...

I considered Whitman, but then "The Road Not Taken"/Frost clicked.

Plan to watch the Teachers' Tournament.

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: No guess Monday. Zanzibar came to me a moment too late. Just the atomic number would not have been enough Thursday. I assume there was no interruption to normal airing schedule because of the draft because it airs mid-afternoon here. But I'v...

Thanks to Person of Interest, bird surnames put Finch immediately in my mind.

No guess (was trying to thing of a real-world group, and probably wouldn't have guessed Munchkins spotted Wizard of Oz); Madonna (low confidence)

If I've eaten at a Howard Johnson's, I have no memory of it.

What makes a superchamp?

Six or more wins.

I can't say I really had an approach Friday. Bern popped into my head immediately, and from there it was just a matter of checking if it worked (add LI to make Berlin, Switzerland and Germany share a border, done).

:( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I wouldn't have guessed anywhere within 500 miles of Mecca Monday, figuring it had to be a remote location. The best I could come up with was Vladivostok, and I wasn't happy with that. No guess at all Tuesday. I would have known Carlo...

42-45 (I'll say 44) right. The questionable ones are Ulysses Grant: The mention of Hamilton threw me so bad I couldn't make heads or tails of the clue. I said the correct answer just before time ran out, but wouldn't have had time to even type "Grant" in the box. Chrissy Teigen: I spelled it Teigan....

:( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: La La Land Moonlight and ??? – I don't think I'd even heard of Spotlight before, which goes to show how out of touch with the Oscars I've become in the last ten or so years. Seen neither movie. Had Algeria Tuesday. Didn't know Arbor Day was celebra...

David Mamet (desperation guess); no guess Wednesday/Friday.

Have neither read nor seen The Natural.
Albany first.
Not only was Friday a no-guess, I still had no clue after some research trying to figure it out.

I've never been more curious to see how a particular FJ clue polls. I think I'd only get it if you gave me a dozen guesses... After playing off Clue of the Day and deciding I had no answer, I looked at a list of musical instruments trying to figure this one out. Still couldn't get it. Never would h...

Would have had Sun Tzu. I didn't make the (season) 35 connection, but a different one: the minimum age to be President.
I don't think I've seen The Last Supper in person.

:( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Michelangelo, mostly to say something. No guess Thursday; got stuck on Tennyson but knew the dates didn't match up. I got Jones in the nick of time; it would have been a race to buzz in before the "time's up" signal. Pulp Fiction was an instage...

Anthony; Goldman's name was unfamiliar.

Thank you, Yakko Warner, for putting those two close together in the song (and Somalia, the one I knew immediately, first).

Speedy, Maine, and Punic Wars, and losing a coin flip and saying harp instead of lyre. $2200, so I couldn't catch up.

Neonatal is a word I need to learn, and I should have gotten Flemish.

On Wheel of Fortune or The Price Is Right , sometimes it looks like the wheel is going to stop on the perfect space, but it has just enough spin left to get over one more peg. That was me, naming as many Shakespeare comedies as I could and deciding to go on to the next; Taming of the Shrew was my pe...

:mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( No guesses Tuesday or Thursday. Thursday, I think if I'd tried to come up with colors rather than people who died in the Mexican-American War, I might have connected brown and Brownsville and taken the shot. Carver Friday I watched the first few ep...
