Seif Day 12 vs. Gideon (LLL)

3/6, and lucky to walk away with that many right.

1. Roots :(, D22.  I don't really even understand what the question means.  I couldn't have possibly had less of a chance here.

2. Moana Series :(, D23.  Never heard of this.

3. Refined :(, D01.  I spent a great deal of time just thinking of something that even remotely made sense.  No chance at all here again.  I gave low D because both Gideon and my LL opponent are really good at food/drink, but maybe I should have gone higher even so.

4. Prussic :), D32.  This is a satisfying one to get.  I knew that it was named after Prussia, and I suspect that most people won't even get that far.  But I thought the name was "Prussian," which has eight letters.  So I spent a good deal of time thinking up something that only had 7.  (I'm wondering if deep down I actually did know it was "Prussic," because once I thought of it, it really seemed right.)

5. Kim Il Sung :), D11.  Gimme of the day for me.

6. Dickinson :), D10.  I went with the obvious guess, and it was right.  I assume anyone who gets this wrong will do so due to overthinking it.
