5/6, and I'm going to need it, facing the first place player in C and Gideon here. Not an easy day.
1) Twelve Angry Men. Gimme. A trivia staple. 0/0
2) Luxembourg. An educated guess. Figured this was one of the tiny countries I know nothing about. Lichtenstein sounds German, while the canton name sound French, leaving Monaco and Luxembourg (I think there are a few others I'm forgetting, but not knowing what they are helped me narrow this down.) I didn't think Monaco was big enough to have multiple cantons, leaving Lux. 1/1
3) Claudine. no idea. I'm lucky I know what Twitch is. 3/3
4) Thymus. The clue had to be talking about T-cells, leaving me with thyroid and thymus. I don't know what the thymus does, but the thyroid controls growth, so this was a coin flip weighted toward thymus. 2/2
5) Cleveland. What else could it be? On Lake Erie, 400 miles seemed about right, isn't this just the second geography question of the day? 1/2
6) Vanilla. Madagascar vanilla is, I think, well-known. But I wasn't sure if vanilla qualified as a spice. Ultimately I thought the parenthetical confirmed it's just plain vanilla. 2/1
