Re: Debbie Day 17

Another day, another 3.  Mazel tov, David, on your own branch and your 6!

1 :( aeration. Also thought of distillation.  Both wrong.

2 :) Blu-Ray. Rare "technology" win for me - must be very easy.

3 :) Kenya. Lucky guess.

4 :( Johnny Cash.  Considered ELvis but thought this might be too early?

5 :( Modernism.  How is Romantic related to Classical? I don't get it.

6 :) Helix. Rare math get for me. Am glad I switched and gave my opponent a 2 for this and 3 for the art one.

And @Brian - it's funny as I'd forgotten about the show Picket Fences (but did used to like that too) - was thinking about the August Wilson play Fences (and named it wrong... and ironically if I'd thought of August Wilson maybe could have guessed right after all! But doubt it.

Dave M day 18 v Kim LLL

Well, I was happy with 4/6 until I saw results posted here!

 

1 : ) Sublimation. D32. I deal a lot with CO2 which sublimates at atmospheric pressure (hence dry ice). D32

2 : ) Blu-Ray. Seemed really straightforward. D10

3 : ) Kenya. Geography gimme. D11

4 : ) Elvis Presley. A guess that he would have the most fans in 1959. D21

5 : ( Baroque. Went too early. D02

6 : ( Kairoi. Silly miss. D23

I was just talking about this with my friend the other day.

I thought I had a chance of being right. Math gets me again. 

David S Day 18

6/6 on the first day after I find out I now have my own branch. Hopefully a good omen.

Farewell, CarrBen12 branch. I hope we stay in the same league.

1. Sublimation :), D33. Straightforward chemistry question. Only gave it such high D due to my opponents’ relative strengths.

2. Blu Ray :), D21. I got it from the color. 

3. Kenya :), D10. Phew. In terms of African mountains with country names, I’d only heard of Kenya and Cameroon. I went with Kenya because it seemed like there are higher mountains in that part of East Africa, but it was really a guess. 

4. Elvis :), D12. Happy to get this. Dating it to 1959 left me and my limited pop music knowledge with only one possible guess. 

5. Romantic :), D02. I was pretty certain here. Thanks to my 11th grade English teacher for this one. 

6. Helix :), D21. Seemed like the right description for one half of a strand of DNA, which is a double helix.
