A great 5/6 following a day I'd like to completely forget. Today was a very favorable category match-up for me vs. Pelc, so I'm feeling good about it.
1. Yeats :), D32. I knew Things Fall Apart and The Center Cannot Hold were both Yeats lines. I didn't know they were from the same Yeats poem, though. This could easily earn me 3 points, since it's not a category in which I'm strong.
2. Damages :(, D20. This actually might have been gettable for me. So much for a 6/6...
3. Emulsion :), D12. Probably should have been a gimme for me, but it wasn't. I was very uncertain this was right, but I couldn't think of anything else that would work. Phew!
4. Suez Canal :), D01. Gimme. It's often hard for me to judge how hard history questions are, but I think this one is easy.
5. Universal :), D21. So obvious it's almost like a trick question. I wasn't sure it was right because it seemed to obvious, and as a result I gave it too high a D. I wonder how many others will actually not go with "universal" because they think it's too obvious.
6. Cos :), D13. After my performance on yesterday's math question, I think I've at least temporarily lost the right to comment on math questions.
