Summer Hiatus Challenge 2017--Round 6, Day 1

Post by rjaguar3 »

We'll have a winner for Round 5 soon. (I'm still looking into some of the questions to determine whether to accept alternative answers or have a RQ.)

In the meantime, let's start the 6th and final round of the SHC regular season. Thanks to Clue Jungry for today's guest category. Thanks to everyone else who submitted requests for the other category.

On we go.
