Pulled off a surprising 4/6 despite missing my third geography question of the season (which for me is carnage in that category). Got pretty lucky on some of the others.
Since Kim posted first, I get to tally the points.
1. Ratatouille :), D00. Gimme, both in the ease of the question and as an imperative because it's delicious. I think this question is relatively easy, but I gave it D00 mostly because of my opponents.

2. Reichstag :), D12. Not sure how hard this is. I knew about the Reichstag having been "wrapped" once in history as an art thing, but I was really convinced that this happened earlier than 1995. I thought it was a pre-unification event. Based on 1995, I considered going a completely different route with the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City (though I now see the timing was off by a couple of months). Ultimately, I went with the Reichstag, though I'm not really sure why I chose that one. It made D pretty hard, since I wasn't sure whether this was a history or an art question. Bottom line, happy to get this.

3. Scutage :), D12. This is a pretty recent addition to my trivia knowledge, as it was a topic in a book I read relatively recently. Maybe this question will cause the term to really "stick" in my head.

4. Ease on Down :(, D23. Nope!

5. Prison :), D21. Totally random guess, but seems like a pretty logical random guess.

6. Saginaw :(, D31. My third geography miss of the season, and US geography at that. Terrible. I'm serious, people, start giving me D3s on these. I had no clue and would never have recalled Ypsilanti despite having spent a lot of time in Michigan not too far from there. I see Kim went to Notre Dame, so I gave her a low D here.

Good game, Kim. I'm sure you'll have many chances to exact revenge!
