Does 48% of respondents going five-for-five represent an all-time high for this poll?

Must. Remember. To. Read. Clues. Correctly. D'Oh!

For some idiotic reason I read 2001 instead of 2011 on Monday, and spent 30 seconds stupidly searching the memory banks for a fortress significant in 1851.

Especially bad when it cost me a 5/5 FJ week. Boo, hiss....

Mutiny on the Bounty was a complete WAG, but I'll take it.

:D :D :D :o :cry: I got Mutiny on the Bounty in a category that I hate, and miss Prince Albert in what is normally a strong category.
:cry: :D :D

What is so difficult about the missed DD? Detroit-Windsor go together like Cheech & Chong.

I might have made "I said Rainier instead of Albert" a choice.

didn't get Detroit, but didn't say Toronto either.

Yay! This might be my first FJ! perfecto. Definitely no more than once before.
Usually art's a decent category, but didn't know this one. Said caramel instead of molasses.
On the hockey question, I do know Detroit & Windsor are just across the border from each other (been there more than once) but for some reason my eyes missed the "Border Cities" part and latched onto "Olympia", thinking they moved far away... to Olympia, Washington (it would have helped to know Detroit has/had a stadium called Olympia). Therefore, I said "Seattle, um, do they have a hockey team?" I knew Vancouver has a team (even know their name!) but somehow ruled them out in my head, I'm not sure what my reason was. Anyway, if this were a FJ! instead of a normal clue, I think I'd have gotten to it, because I'd have time to read the clue completely. Twice. But it wasn't. :(

No idea on the Olympian question - that's the third time there has been a question about Monoco royalty (a question about Rob Lowe and Princess Stephanie has appeared on both J! and BAM).

My wife bought a "classic" edition of Candy Land for our grandkids; I had no idea there had been any changes to the terrain.
