Almost as much as we love our superfluous apostrophe's.
All language's need their quirk's
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

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.

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.

So how did 83% of people know something that's only come up once before?

I found a stupid way to get this one wrong: I said Guillot.
You're not alone. I immediately wrote down "Guillotine," then decided "ine" might be a suffix. Geez Louise.
