The punchline to all this? It was the $200 clue.

On the clue about the misfit who helped Santa, would "Who is Hermey the Elf" have been acceptable?

Since the elf's name was Herbie, probably not. I'd probably neg Herbie since he really didn't do much for Santa.BrownPaperBag wrote:On the clue about the misfit who helped Santa, would "Who is Hermey the Elf" have been acceptable?

Yes, there were four stamps:seaborgium wrote:Was Hermey on a stamp the same year Rudolph was?BrownPaperBag wrote:On the clue about the misfit who helped Santa, would "Who is Hermey the Elf" have been acceptable?
Santa
Rudolph
Hermey (He was originally going to be called Herbie after a childhood friend of one of the creators.)
Bumble (No "s")

I like to imagine a contestant saying Hermey and Alex asking for a BMS, looking for the character's professional title DDS.

I knew that - honest, I did. Brain-to-finger malfunction, I guess.opusthepenguin wrote:Warning to future players: Pope actually wrote "A little LEARNING is a dang'rous thing."
Actually, though, the more I think about it, I have decided that Pope was right. Those who taste not the Pierian spring never heard of John André. Those who drink deep know that 1776 is much too early for the Arnold conspiracy. Those with a little learning are most likely to be caught.

A day late here, but Gordon -- you played very well, I think if you had found a DD, it could have been a very different game.

Ditto from me. You were a decent player anyway, but your strong finish turned you into a real contender. And Natalie did make it look easy. I was surprised at times to see how high her score had become with seemingly little effort.
