My very first thought was the Marquis de Sade; I knew the invention, but wasn't exactly sure how the doctor's name was spelled, but I managed to get it without the "e".

There's only one other time where they spotted the contestants "night of broken this" and just wanted "glass". It was second box down in that case. Someone got it right, as I would expect.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 9:34 pm "Night of broken glass" joins the "NHOI in the top box" pile. That whole category was entirely alien to me. (ETA: "Night of Broken Glass" has only one Archive hit, and "Kristallnacht" only two, both in the bottom box.
This clue was polled at your request. Came in at 83%. There's your answer. Solid top box material, but second box wouldn't be inappropriate. Any lower down would be silly.

You're not alone. I immediately wrote down "Guillotine," then decided "ine" might be a suffix. Geez Louise.Linear Gnome wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 10:50 pmI found a stupid way to get this one wrong: I said Guillot.
