Seif Day 2

5/6.  I didn't think I had this many right, but now I'm actually kicking myself about the one I missed.  I found defense especially tricky today, since several questions didn't fit nicely into a single category.


1. Iambic :), D32.  Only word I know that could possibly fit here.  It was iambic or bust, but I thought it was probably right.  I wonder if my D was too high here.

2. Girl with a Pearl Earring :), D00.  If I know an art question right away, it can't be that tough.

3. Burns :), D11.  Very famously lived to 100 and died in the mid-90s, so pretty clear who it had to be.

4. Elizabeth :), D21.  Hard for people outside of the tri-state area, I suspect.  I think Elizabeth is most famous for having the first NY-area Ikea.  That's at least how I know it the best.

5. Crystal Skull :(, D12.  Sort of kicking myself here.  I went right to Indiana Jones (for no good reason) and couldn't think of anything else.  I feel like I really could have had a chance here.

6. Paris :), D23.  Didn't expect to get this.  I thought of "Plaster of Paris," which was the only idea I could come up with, but it was really just a guess.
