Brian day 8 vs Ben

3/6 when I thought I had a chance at 6.   Turns out I had no shot at the three I missed

1) yttria 2/2. I thought Thorsten was being clever and that heavy metal was literal and went with the namesake of four elements.  Even if I went the musical route and figured out goth, I wouldn't have gotten the city's name. (Turns out the town I was thinking of is Ytterby, and the elements are rare earth not heavy.)

2) orangutan 1/1. Was between this and gorilla, and then it rang a bell that this was correct.

3) complementary, supplementary 0/0. Math gimme

4) Sinbad 1/1  I don't remember Mandela dying twenty years early, but I clearly remember this movie which doesn't exist.  To me it's the Sinbad effect, not Mandela effect.

5) bel hooks 3/3 The yalie who is my go to for black poets if I don't have a reasonable answer seemed to fit the bill. Glad someone else has heard of her, Kim.

6) Arabian 2/2. Thought the movie Three Kings about the Iraq War might be referencing the Three Kingdoms
