A barnburner at the top of A Piedmont with 2 days to go. We both have 34 points, with a differential of +24, but he is ahead because of TMP (163 v 153). It's a nailbiter. Third place in the rundle is on 31 points, so she has an outside shot. Hoo boy. I lost on MD24, keeping me at 34 points. However...

I figured out it was the guy after Victoria.

I knew it went Edward / George / Edward, with the last one being Edward VIII. I, an allegedly smart man, knew it was two kings before that, and so subtracted 2 from 8 and said Edward VI. Oops.

[*]Only four of the draftees have not won a tournament going into the ASG: Alan Lin, Seth Wilson, Matt Jackson, and Larissa Kelly.

Has Ken won a tournament?

No, but Ken was also not a draftee.

Only two countries I would describe as "Eurasian" - Russia and Turkey. Boom, done. Dino used to be a LLama. He came in third on my Mission: Impossible 1DS, which was notoriously difficult (he was the only person other than RautY to get all 12 correct). IIRC, his QPct was pretty high - like > 90%. He...

"Confucius? Maybe? Well, it could be Buddha, too. I would associate China more with Confucius, though. Let's go with that."

Womp womp.

The only books I remember by Willa Cather are My Antonia and O Pioneers. So that would make it Pioneers. But I can't imaging 'pioneers' being in the title of that many books. What about Ship of Fools? That was Catherine Ann Porter. Wait... wasn't there a book called Death Comes for the Archbishop? W...

I knew ouzo was an anise-flavored liqueur, and I figured that was probably the connection, but I wasn't sure what the Italian analogue was. I said grappa because I knew that was a thing that was Italian.

Brutal day yesterday. I was lucky to get 4 - I said "Milne" for the two-movie Christopher Robin question. I was thinking of A.A. - not his son, so another point proving you should just give the last name if permitted. Ewan McGregor's character's last name was Robin in the 2018 film. But I found the...

Neat, thanks Mark. (That may just be because there aren't a lot of season 20 games on YouTube, but it's nice to be noticed.)

What I think of when I hear "hippy-dippy":

Eliud Kipchoge, gold medal winner in the men's marathon at the 2016 Rio Olympics, breaks the world record in the marathon by 76 seconds at the Berlin Marathon. The record now stands at 2:01:39.

Anybody else snap-answer Looking Glass for the Brandy question?
