*nod* SD, IL, IN, and NE.

ETA: Hmmm ... maybe not NE? I can't find a picture of one. Maybe it is KY after all.

Well, I misread the question yet again and only gave one of the states...but it looks my second choice of KY wouldn't have been correct anyway, so I guess it works out. :)

Typo on the announcement. The RQ is for R5D1.

If there's anything else I need to rule on I'll get it in the morning.
Thanks, Dad. I can finish up scoring. Should have results posted late tomorrow.

For the 5.5 12-pointer, I assume anything with "Grimm" or "Brothers Grimm" or "Grimm Brothers" is correct? (I said "the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales," and I've seen numerous variations along these lines in other people's responses)

However they were later said to be issued without the correct approval, according to this: http://johnhuntmorgan.scv.org/articles/lincolnplate.htm

edit to add: Hmm they were issued for the 2009 anniversary, but actually created earlier than that. Don't know if it really fits the question as asked. Screw it, not really worth bothering with it much. :)
That's the one I remember and the reason I answered KY without a pause for concern. Good call on the Mt. Rushmore thing, too, Suze. I was racking my brain trying to come up with #4 (D.C. shouldn't count IMO as the question asked for states).

If Kentucky is wrong:

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
My perfect score hangs on Kentucky
The place where Abe was born and raised.
(The place where he was born and raised)

For five long weeks I've been in trouble
No perfect scores on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to blunder
I have no brains to help me now.

The intended answers for the states were South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans sued to block the Kentucky plate, but not until it had been issued, so I'm counting that.

That said, I realized this morning that the license plate clue just said issued, not that the issue was statewide. Some states put county names on license plates. So any response that includes a state that a) includes county names and b) has a Lincoln County will be correct.

Pete, please e-mail me a list of wrong answers and I'll go back and check on them.

Good feeling about R5D6...lucked out that the radio station I listen to featured the pianist in question last week, though. No chance I'd've gotten it otherwise.

no such synchronicity for me, Volante. But I almost put "Ling Ling" as a joke answer. Wonder if that would've flown?

Doubt it. Now, if you could find a piano playing panda...

Addendum: awww, man, I goofed on the musical...so close... :(

Apparently I overthought the 10-pt magical creatures clue. Dwarfs just seemed too obvious for the point value, so I went with Nibelungs. That may be too specific... OTOH, it is not clear to me that it doesn't fit the clue. Ruling please?

I was looking at that as well. Seems to me that it's too specific an answer, Nibelung being a specific subset of dwarves, but more importantly, not associated with the realm mentioned.

Outside of Wagner's oeuvre, the term Nibelung(en) refers to Burgundian nobles, not to dwarves, or such is my understanding of the content of the Nibelungenlied.

So is it "meep-meep" or "beep-beep?" My official answer was CLAM.

I suspect that both will be accepted -- I put "meep-meep" because that's what I always heard, but I know "beep-beep" is also used in licensed material.

No way should "dwarves" be a 10-pointer (and "dwarfs" is just wrong, no matter what Walt Disney says) -- looks like I fell into the same "gotta be more clever" trap that others did -- I said Niebelungen.

ETA: The Sons of the Confederate Veterans objected to a plate honoring Lincoln? Since when do traitorous losers get to decide these things? It's like the Sons of Stalin objecting to an honor for Mikhail Gorbachev.

I would put good money on both being accepted. Which is the "correct" response? Well, there are a bunch of Road Runner cartoons with "beep" as part of the title and none that have "meep", so I guess the creators would say it's "beep-beep." http://looneytunes.wikia.com/wiki/List_ ... r_cartoons

Actually, I believe dwarfs is the standard, established plural, with dwarves gaining increased acceptance nowadays under Tolkien’s influence:
J. R. R. Tolkien (in [i]The Return of the King[/i] Appendix F, “The Languages and Peoples of the Third Age”) wrote:  
It may be observed that in this book as in The Hobbit the form dwarves is used, although the dictionaries tell us that the plural of dwarf is dwarfs. It should be dwarrows (or dwerrows), if singular and plural had each gone its own way down the years, as have man and men, or goose and geese. But we no longer speak of a dwarf as often as we do of a man, or even of a goose, and memories have not been fresh enough among Men to keep hold of a special plural for a race now abandoned to folk-tales, where at least a shadow of truth is preserved, or at last to nonsense-stories in which they have become mere figures of fun....It is to mark this that I have ventured to use the form dwarves, and so remove them a little, perhaps, from the sillier tales of these latter days.
For the record, I like dwarves better too, but dwarfs can’t be dismissed as “just wrong.”

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Round 5 day 6 was brutal for me. I am just glad that I didn't end up in the negatives!
