Dave M day 2 vs Brad

Another 4/6 today. Hopefully good enough to topple Brad’s 3.

 

1 : ) Ohio. Initially thought Peachtree/Georgia but couldn’t think of any college/sport associations. Had always wondered as to the origin of the word buckeye so guessed it might be a tree. D11

2 : ( Poseidon Adventure. Way out on timing but couldn’t think of anything else. D22

3 : ) ANC. This question is badly worded. The ANC was not formed to fight apartheid through armed insurrection in 1912. Apartheid didn’t exist until 1948. And in fact a splinter group (the PAC) left the ANC around 1960 specifically because the ANC insisted on non-violence. The ANC later allowed for sabotage as long as civilians weren’t harmed. But it’s the only relevant group founded in 1912 so must by what Thorsten was after. D21

4 : ) Wu Tang Clan. Current events gimme. D10

5 : ( The College Writing Style Guide. I was in the right ballpark, but having not been to college in the US was never going to get this (never heard of the right answer). D02

6 : ) Michelle Obama. I remember reading about this painting (and Barack Obama’s one) when they were released a few years ago. D33

 

So I collect a 6(4) from Brad and in turn give him a 2(3) – happy to get perfect defense in today.
