Hi all. 5/6 Good start to season on what seems like an easy day. I was against some that graduated from a school of medicine so I 0ed what I thought was the hardest question.

1. Tavau is the local Romansh name for what fashionable resort town and geopolitical destination in the Rhaetian Alps?

Right away I figured out it was a sports team and had to decide between the Titans and Grizzlies. I knew the Grizzlies were from Vancouver so I figured it was the Titans.
