David S Day 16

5/6 unless Thorsten is in a bad mood, then 4/6.  Very friendly set of questions for me.

1. Succotash :), D01.  Fairly straightforward know-it-or-you-don't question.

2. Lusitania :), D22.  Great question.  This one took me a while, but that's because I started way in the past, then jumped to the present, and only got to early 1900s right at the end.  Once I thought of it, I wasn't sure it was right, but it certainly sounded like it could have been an ancient Roman province.

3. SNL :)?, D10.  I hope "SNL" is enough here.  Seems like it should be.  Assuming it is, I had no idea, but I knew Alec Baldwin had hosted it a lot, so I figured it was my best guess.

4. White Knight :), D32.  Meh, I don't love this question.  Not really a term people have used at anytime in my career, though I have heard of it.  I do see that there are a lot of online articles that use the term in reference to Bear Stearns, but I don't think it's really a great example since JPMorgan basically got it for nothing.  Maybe my D here was too high.

5. Tales :(, D13.  Seems gettable.

6. Von der Leyen :), D21.  Gimme for me, but this may play hard.  I follow her closely for work.
