Day 21:
5/6, done with advance access a week ago.
1. Prosecco :(, D12. No clue, but great question.
2. Spinal column :), D10. Seemed like the best guess by far, though I wasn't certain.
3. OPEC :), D21. Gimme.
4. Follies :), D33. Was thrilled to get this. Two Sondheim-related questions in two days. This seriously raised my theater QPct.
5. Injunction :), D02. This was marked correct despite the answer being listed as writ. It was a guess based on terms I'd heard. Perhaps this was accepted because the question was a bit vague.
6. DuBois :), D21. Was pretty sure he had a doctorate from Harvard, so that made it the clear guess. Also not many other good guesses I could think of, so not much of a choice what to put.
Day 22 vs. Mirkin (LLL):
3/6 with a bad miss in there.
1. Fly a kite :(, D03. I had no idea at all.
2. Epoque :(, D20. Bad miss here. I wrote the answer and then just moved on, but I confused the term "belle epoque" with "grand siecle." Hopefully this draws the D0 so it won't hurt me.
3. Exacta :), D12. I thought of trifecta for the top 3 right away, but I had to think about this for a while. Once it hit me, I was pretty certain it was right.
4. Siam :), D21. This one took me a long time, and I'm really glad to have gotten it. Spent most of my time thinking about Europe before moving to Asia. Finally got to Siam/Thailand and figured that had to be it.
5. Cheers :(, D12. Nope!
6. Focus :), D31. Math/science gimme.
