David S Day 7

3/6.  Tricky day for me, with one bad miss and one great get.

1. Raita :(, D20.  Bad miss.  I put raita down right away, was confident it was right, and never looked at it again.  I think I'd have gotten this if I'd spent an extra minute on it.

2. Seton Hall :), D11.  Seemed like the only possible guess.

3. Sierra Leone :), D03.  Very happy to get this.  It was a long process to come to a guess I wasn't confident about.  I guessed it was Africa and an country that was previously and English colony.  Plus "Sierra" means mountains, so that was a logical guess.

4. Della Coda :(, D31.  Nope!

5. Pacemaker :), D12.  I thought pacemaker was the best guess by far.  However, I might have considered cochlear implant except that the question said the answer was a single word.

6. Volt :(, D22.  Fantastic question.  Car rental places.  I completely whiffed on this even though I correctly identified Enterprise and Alamo and was pretty sure the Latin for bird was close to "avia."  I still didn't understand it even when I saw the answer, but then it hit me a few minutes later.
