Vintner, A, liver, Dodge City, Hawaiian, Prokofiev, Eastwood.

$7600 by my count, which with a FJ get is enough, even if you take off $2000 for saying Nimitz which according to the poll I did.

John Q Adams after talking myself out of taking the coinflip between Pierce and Hayes (I know their names, but not which goes where in order). Alexander Fleming; not thrilled with it but I had nothing else Ursula Le Guin, desperation guess after dismissing Angelou and Harper Lee as dying too early I...

Joy Luck , thanes, Thanatos, Big Bang , Mork & Mindy , Hawaii , fireplace, boomerang, Koko, Penn, scintillate (just before the buzzer), which by my calculation is $11,600, plus a get on Final for the win. No Tilda Swinton fans? I just blanked, but was picturing her the whole time...Only $10600 othe...

Getting better on the Confederate sub. Knew it was something like Hunsley, but couldn't convince myself it was Hunley in time.
Slake.
10/10 for the tournament.

I'm curious if anyone worked their way to a solve on this FJ. It feels like something you either had before Alex was done reading (me) or you weren't going to get there at all (the contestants). I had to shove James Dean out of the conversation (not British, twenty years off, car not motorcycle), b...

I considered California with Nixon and Reagan, but since I knew two were in Texas (Johnson, Bush-43) and had a plausible third name, went with it.
No preemptions.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( "Enceinte" made me think "incendiary," so I was trying to think of fiery words, and nothing clicked. After a visit to Euro Disney as a kid, I had Swiss Family Robinson and Robinson Crusoe mixed up in my head for years. So this was an easy cl...

Sherman; got stuck on Jackson but refused to guess a Confederate.
I considered Pollyanna but stayed clam.

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: "A Star Is Born" (correctly guessed the movie, had no idea on the song title, and had to look it up now), Aston (also considered: Harley, Mercedes, Orville Wright; so I correctly stuck with British names, but one that's not a person) No pree...

A country with a whole lot of people (more than the USA) that is a democracy. That is a pretty short list. Russia was a really bad guess, especially considering he was born there. I figured there had to be some trick, something more to it than "There are two countries with enough people, and one of...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 10/10 for the tournament. I was trying to name all three before I rolled the dice, and only got Athos and Porthos before running out of time. I did not know the equator doesn't pass through Equatorial Guinea. No guess on the tr...

Relevant: 538: Which States Are in the Midwest?

Trying presidents led me straight to Lincoln, but I dismissed that based on figuring it's named for Abraham (correct) and not thinking of Nebraska as Midwest (eh...). Fortunately trying Midwest cities landed on Cleveland right away.

I said something like Pancho Sanza. The information was there, just scrambled beyond acceptability.

I considered the Grand Canyon but it made no sense.
Said Frank Lloyd Wright.

Alberta/Saskatchewan (and just glad I didn't say Alberta/Manitoba), Hearst
I checked neither box, but still managed to come up with miniskirt.

I assume "deification" is what they were going for in 11-Letter Words for $800?

Honduras instead of Belize.

No responses for the missed clues. I considered Hillary Clinton, but ruled her out. Allende is a name I know but I couldn't tell you anything about her.

Said emu instead of peacock.

Not read/seen Earnest. Actually kind of surprised I pulled that one up.
Said Triassic.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Got stuck on Gauguin and couldn't think of anything so I said "It's a Magical Place" as a joke. I think maybe Weems might stick in my brain this time. Have not seen any version of The Island of Dr. Moreau nor read the book. Also haven...

For any comic book judges on the boards:

Phoenix for Jean Grey?

I don't know if the two entities are considered separate or not.

Yes, that's fine.
