Quilting was a guess that seemed reasonable.
I figured devangari was about the Hindi alphabet, but my guess of Cyrillic was too far down the list. Couldn't remember what exactly you would call the "English alphabet", and I incorrectly put Cyrillic ahead of Arabic in my mind.

Got five of the six yesterday (missed Ben). Lost to the only six-pack in the rundle, which is a bit frustrating.

Re: Fun with ABC's "The Chase" [Spoilers]
The steps of the casting process the first time around were: a) 10-minute, 50-question Zoom-proctored quiz b) if you do well enough on the Zoom quiz, you will shortly after get an invitation to a group Zoom session. There you and a small cohort will answer a bunch of multiple choice "at the table" q...

Re: Fun with ABC's "The Chase" [Spoilers]
The British version is also, critically, a daily show, so, combined with the lower prize pots, it's much more acceptable that the contestants only win once every five episodes or so. If the chasers win 80% of the time on a weekly show, you could go a couple of months without ever seeing any money gi...

My best guess is "I hope you're getting a lot of benefit about that; I know it made you feel good." although I'm not sure if that's 'you're getting' or 'we're getting'.

Yeah, I also landed on Rue Morgue for the first half of the think music before I realized Poe was American and it wasn't a novel. Was able to switch over to C&P (a book I have been meaning to read for years but have never gotten past the first 50 pages or so) with plenty of time.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
I'm guessing they go back and re-tape some of those facts. I noticed today that during the next-to-last clue in the 2nd round, Ken was up on Muffy 900-600, but when they cut to Jonathan for the fact, it showed Muffy with 1000 (and she did, indeed, get the final clue correct). I sometimes wonder if,...

It's usually called "Baking Show" in the US (certainly on Netflix and PBS) because Pillsbury owns the right to the term "bake off" over here.LucarioSnooperVixey wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 11:03 amJane was very nice this week as she accepted "Great British Baking Show" rather than the intended answer of "Great British Bake Off".
