Solid 5/6 today. Very friendly questions for me.
1. Jackass :), D20. This took me a little while, but I came up with it. This probably means it will be a gimme for everyone else.
2. Speed of Light :), D11. Gimme.
3. Aleutians :), D02. Gimme for me because of Attu, which was the sight of a (perhaps the) WWII battle that took place in Alaska. Would have struggled on this had that not been on the list.
4. Bach :), D23. Sweet. Didn't expect this to be right. I pretty much have Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach in my universe here. I knew Mozart was in the Austrian court around the time of the French Revolution, which means he was too young for 1741, and I knew that Beethoven was younger than Mozart. So that left Bach, who I was pretty sure was older, as my only guess.
5. Catacombs :), D11. I think this is a decently well-known word, though maybe I'm way off.
6. Immortal :(, D32. No clue. Perhaps I took the "ironic" part of the question too far in coming up with a guess.
