David S Day 10 vs. Dave M (LLL)

4/6, with a frustrating miss in there but also one I'm very happy to have gotten.  Still a pretty friendly set of questions for me for a second day in a row.  For the first time I can remember, I gave opposite point totals to my two opponents (as in points to Dave M were 3 minus whatever I gave to my LL opponent).

1. Surface Tension :), D12.  Should have been a gimme for me, but this actually took a while.  But once I came up with it, I was confident.

2. Tour :(, D21.  No idea here and no chance.  My French isn't good enough to help me get such an obscure word I didn't know.

3. Muses :(, D21.  Bad miss.  Muses didn't quite sit right with me, but I didn't even consider nymph and didn't come up with anything else.

4. Green Bay Packers :), D03.  Packers were a gimme for me, and I'm sure I could have come up with the Bears.  But I didn't know about the Bengals.

5. Singapore :), D30.  Geography/world history gimme that should give Mirkin no problem.

6. Hollywood Squares :), D12.  Sweet!  Glad to get this.  This occurred to me right away, and I couldn't think of anything else.  But I didn't have any great expectation that it was correct.
