Sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through in the first box. You have two very obscure words that kinda sorta vaguely guide you to Catholic, and then have to think of the one of 78,349 positions in the Catholic Church that fit "ordained" and "see".Volante wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2017 11:54 pmArchbishop was the response.dhkendall wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2017 11:46 pmI forget the wording, but if archbishop was in the clue, then there.

"ordained" and "see" spot you Catholic.
Dutch was Reagan's nickname. Although, as my 13-year old son pointed out (without using JBoard terminology), Van Buren was pretty big negbait for that one.
The clue mentioned "fossil" which makes oil and coal the only plausible answers. And unless you're playing Power Grid, oil-powered plants are pretty obscure.WLT "Coal" at $200?
"See" is from the Latin for Seat, and it usually means a Bishop or Archbishop's position. So that's another coin toss, with "bishop" possibly accepted or BMS'd.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2017 11:51 pmYeah, not seeing it.Ordained in 1973 & promoted to his metropolitan see in 2012, Andrew Yeom Soo-Jong is Seoul's this
You're spotted 'promoted' so that make you should rule out bishop. I'd call bishop flat out wrong (but I also gave no quarter to the (Celebrity) Apprentice ruling either).Wheatley wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 10:34 amThe clue mentioned "fossil" which makes oil and coal the only plausible answers.

"Promoted to his metropolitan see" indicates that he is an archbishop, but that doesn't in and of itself make bishop incorrect. Whether it's an acceptable answer depends (IMHO) on how the archdiocese is divided. Most likely, he's the bishop of Seoul along with being the metropolitan of the Archdiocese of Seoul, just like Cardinal Dolan is in NY or Archbishop Lori in Baltimore (since the Diocese of Baltimore falls under the Archdiocese of Baltimore). By contrast, while Archbishop Lori is the Archbishop for the diocese of Arlington (VA), since that falls under his Archdiocese, but he's not the bishop of Arlington, which is Michael Francis Burbidge.
According to this, there is no 'Diocese of Baltimore' anymore; it was changed to the 'Archdiocese of Baltimore' in 1808. All official references that I can find also refer to it explicitly as the 'Archdiocese of Baltimore.'TomFromMD wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 2:23 pm"Promoted to his metropolitan see" indicates that he is an archbishop, but that doesn't in and of itself make bishop incorrect.

Maybe it's a regional thing but scallion pancakes are a feature at every Chinese restaurant I know (so common in fact, that I were a judge I would have BMS'd "pancakes"). They're delicious, you ought to have one if you never had.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2017 9:41 pm Why should I know that mandarin pancakes are a thing? That was ridiculous.
Mandarin was not the important part of the clue, moo shu pork was. Anyone who's spent time in Chinese restaurants knows it's served with pancakes. Anyone who's not spent time in Chinese restaurants, I feel bad for...Wheatley wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2017 1:15 pmMaybe it's a regional thing but scallion pancakes are a feature at every Chinese restaurant I know (so common in fact, that I were a judge I would have BMS'd "pancakes").

Additionally, most Asian countries have their own style of "pancake" that's similar to the Mandarin pancake.

I'd say that Mandarin was negbait except I've never heard an orange described as "thin."
Also because Mozart has the only famous Symphony No. 40, and I believe the number was mentioned in the clue.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2017 7:27 pm #6254, aired 2011-11-24 CLASSICAL ROCK $3,000 (Daily Double): When he composed his Symphony No. 40 in G Minor in 1788, he didn't have these sounds in mind
Some will recognize the music and some will not. J!'s weird organ will hurt more than help from yesterday's clue. You're forgiven.
