Summer Hiatus Challenge 2017--Round 2, Day 2

Post by rjaguar3 »

Though the R1D6 replacement question is still outstanding, it looks like Clue Jungry has clinched the round 1 title, with a score of 416. Congratulations!

As a reminder, everyone who hasn't played round 1 is still welcome to play it for the wildcard points.

I also thank Clue Jungry for today's guest category.

On to R2D2 (DadofTwins already exhausted all the good Star Wars jokes).

4: In an 1807 trial run, this inventor's steamboat went from New York to Albany in 32 hours.

6: In 1928, this Nobel Prize winner discovered that staphylococcus-free zones appeared around a mold culture he called penicillin.
