4/6 vs. Ben's acquaintance Brian in LL and Steiny in LLL. I'm in the lowest non-relegation spot in my rundle right now, so this match has large implications for me. I'm honestly not sure if my 4/6 will be enough, and I suspect it will come down to defense, which I found tricky.
1. Fruit punch :(, D21. I had no idea. And I struggled to guess if Brian would know this. He does know a bunch of random things like this, but I felt D2 was still ok.
2. India :), D23. I felt confident when I submitted this even though I wasn't certain, and I hope this will trip up both Brian and Steiny, since I think it's pretty hard. There are a few small, random formerly British countries that have huge Indian populations. I didn't know that Fiji was one of them, but with Europe, China, and Pacific island countries excluded by the question, this seemed like the best guess by far.
3. Silicon, Aluminum :), D12. No idea how hard people will find this. I had a number of guesses and really didn't know when I first read the question. Then I realized that "sial" is just the symbol for silicon "Si" and aluminum "Al" combined to form a word, which made the answer obvious. Do Brian and Steiny notice this? I'm really not sure.
4. Flies :), D10. If I find a literature question easy, so should Brian and Steiny.
5. Habeus corpus :), D02. Gimme for me. Not sure how easy this plays, but I'm thinking it's not too hard generally.
6. Jones :(, D31. I had no idea. I probably should have given a higher D to Steiny here, but I feel good about my D3 for Brian.
