Brian Day 18 vs Jesse

1 or 2/6.  ​Ouch. Thought I had 4 on submitting. One I knew I had, one I was pretty sure of, neither were correct.  Happy to have limited Jesse to a 4(4), not that it affects the result.  

1) elephant. Was going to say monotreme, but thought elephant might have a shot.  D1/2

2) Auricle.  Was so happy with myself when i thought of this for the ear, figured it had a 75% shot.  Hmm, looking it up, auricle is another name for the pinna, which I've never heard of.  But it doesn't satisfy the leaf aspect, so can't imagine I'll get credit.  3/3

3) Okefor.  After a long time thinking about this, I realized that the woman in question was the director of A Wrinkle in Time, and that I had no chance of remembering her name.  So I threw in something that sounded familiar. 2/2

4) Last novel by its author.  I was pretty sure Drood was his last book, so I took a guess. Unless these authors have more than one posthumous work, I think my answer is correct.  I e-mailed Thorsten petitioning for credit.  0/1

5) All I Want For Christmas Is You.  It's been playing non-stop on the radio the last few weeks, I felt pretty good about my answer.  2/1

6) Casablanca. Was 100% confident, and 100% wrong.  I did wonder about the citrus connection, but dismissed it.  Always thought Casablanca was in the strait, had no clue about Tangier. 1/0
