1) Fuzzy Navel. 2/2 A gimme, but I don't know if this is some remnant from the 80s, as I don't know anyone who drinks this
2) Philippines 2/0 I hated giving Seif 2 for geography, but the other questions left me no choice.
3) Silicon, aluminum 0/1 I was pretty sure i remembered silicon as being the most prevalent from a prior LL question, but I had a tough time piecing together what was next to it on the periodic table. I had finally settled on Sodium, and was about to submit, when I re-read the question and saw the answer was actually in the word 'sial'. That would have been a bad miss. And catching that changed my defense for this question as well.
4) Lord of the Flies. 1/1 This was a gimme, and I'm hoping for literature points in a weak category.Unfortunately I didn't re-read this question carefully, and I'm not sure I"m going to get credit. I think he's given credit in similar cases to other players, so I'm hopeful.
5) habeas corpus 1/2
6) aerial 3/3 never heard of it.
So... as predicted Mirkin gets 5 and beats me 7(5)-5(4) or 3(3)
Now for Seif, who I can knock back into the relegation zone....Seif ties or wins 4(4)-4(4) or 4(3). So this comes down to the wisdom of Thorsten. Either way should be good in the standings for Dave. Well played.
