4/6
1) Cognioscenti 2/2 Never heard of Camorra
2) 256 1/1 A gallon has 128 oz, so 16^2 =256 made most sense, didn't think there were much more than 2 tbsp/oz.
3) limousine 2/2 Knew it couldn't be as obvious as limo (hearse and golf cart were my other options), but station wagon never crossed my mind. Glad I defended high
4) Fleetwood Mac 3/3 This was my best guess, I know there's a Mick Fleetwood in the band, but was not at all confident.
5) Women's Wear Daily 1/1 I don't know why I'm even aware of its existence, but the two parenthetical (despite)s point directly to it.
6) George Washington Carver 0/0 Early 20th century peanuts = Carver
Just a 2/6 today, questions not really in my wheelhouse and struggled with Defense too.
1 : ) Camorra. YEKIOYD. D11
2 : ( 2046. Out by an order of magnitude. I really do not know my imperial measurements. D22
3 : ) Station Wagon. Gimme for someone who’s lived both in UK and USA(/Oz/NZ). D00
4 : ( Creedence Clearwater Revival. No idea. D33
5 : ( Ladies Wear Monthly. Guessed wrong on both 50/50s at the front and end of the title. D11
6 : ( Planter. Figured maybe the Planter’s Nuts guy. D22
3/6 and no real shot at the others.
1. Corleone :(, D22. No idea. Even though I knew I was wrong, I was thinking maybe the name would ring a bell when I saw it, but I've never heard of the term.
2. 256 :), D33. I just got this through brute force calculation. D33 because my opponents are both pretty weak in math.
3. Station Wagon :), D11. Hard to guess this if you don't happen to know it.
4. Jefferson Airplane :(, D20. I had no idea.
5. Ladies Home Journal :(, D12. I spent a long time trying to come up with something that had 3 words and fit the question. Turns out I had no chance.
6. Carver :), D01. There were many ways to get this from the question. I think many people will be able to guess it.
