Doyle
"La Marseillaise"
No clue on Caxton or ground fault
7/10 on FJ! clues.

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

[Leander]

On the coin flip with Jackson, I went with Jefferson.

Could not get from 3D modeling to Rubiks Cube

[Plactus]

Jules Verne (desperation guess), La Marseillaise, Jefferson

Caxton and mercurochrome completely unfamiliar.

I said "general fault" instead of "ground fault."

5/10 for the season, including 0/4 on Monday/Tuesday. Hopefully next week I'm not playing catch-up all week.

[seaborgium]

Ibsen Monday, Jefferson Friday. At this rate I'll have had my first 5/5 week of the season in two weeks.

[hbomb1947]

France was not good to me this week. I had Hugo for the author and "La Marseilaise" for the anthem. NFC on GFCI. 7/10 to start the season.

[Bigdogstalfos]

If you had asked me before last week what mercurochrome was used for, I probably would have guessed something with developing photos.

[TenPoundHammer]

I went with La Marseillaise. LEGO Thursday, nothing else the rest of the week.

GFCI = ???

[Volante]

Mon - Hugo
Tue - La Marseillaise

I knew the G, not the F.

Dismal two weeks...at least I'm caught up. And can see.

[John Boy]

Not 10-for-10 to start the season, but 8-for-10 is quite acceptable.

NHO Father of English Printing, but I'm old enough that I had many of my owies treated with mercurochrome (sp?)

[Philliesfan02]

Got British Nicknames for 2000 but none of the others

[Ironhorse]

I was spoiled for the Rubik's Cube one on Thursday. I probably would have gotten it, but can't count it. I only ended up getting O Canada (Rudyard Kipling, Little Boy, James Madison).

[BigDaddyMatty]

Lost a Tolstoy/Verne coin flip Monday
NHO GFCI

[davey]

Tolstoy should have been gettable but I just didn't think of him in the :30...Rubik's cube was instant despite never having heard it used to solve problems...No hesitation on Jackson since "legacy" seemed dispositive that it was someone who followed...
I sat out GFCI...
From the depths the name Caton came to me, I had time to adjust and add the x before uttering it...I didn't know mercurochrome was no longer in use, but it makes sense now that I learn that...

Mercurochrome

  

You've gotta follow the New Old Games thread:

New to the archive thanks to this game, the mercury-bromine compound marketed as an antiseptic also called Merbromin:

What is Mercurochrome?

6 months ago there were no mentions in the Archive, now there are 2. Yay.

[Peter the accountant]

Couldn't quite find mercurochrome. Answered Merthiolate, which is close, but I'm calling wrong.

GFCI was an instaget for me.

[gnash]

My brain was AWOL for parts of this week. Couldn't think of Canada as a French-speaking country. Couldn't pull Burning Man in time. And put me down as another distracted boyfriend who turned his head after Jefferson, incurring the wrath of Andrew Jackson.

[ElendilPickle]

Not my best week.
