4/6... this is my kind of season...light on the math / science / classical music / economics...

1 : ) LIV.  Yep, when I get a sports question, that means it must be relatively well-known (and def current events too).  Is cool to understand where the name came from  D1

2 : ) Honey Nut Cheerios. Yum. Surprisingly I couldn't get my daughter onto these... prefers the original. And Brian I like multi-grain a lot too. My friend used to work for General Mills. Good stuff.  D0

3 : ( Palatine  I watch a lot of Rick Steeves and prob heard this fairly recently but shame on me for forgetting. D2

4 : ) No Diggity. Great q.  Wondering how this will play. D3

5 : ) Finger Lakes. We were up in Cooperstown this summer so this certainly rings a bell. D1

6 : ( tarsal. Know it's leg bones but don't know what they are. Though now I see it rings a bell.  D2

Brian Day 4 vs Steiny (LLL)

 4/6 and no chance for more

1) LIV 1/1  I didn't know what it meant until this question, but it's been mentioned on ESPN's home page a lot this summer

2) Honey Nut Cheerios 0/0  Right now my kids are in a Multi-Grain Cheerios mood, but I'm sure next week they'll be sending me to the store for Honey Nut

3) Hapsburg 2/3  No clue

4) Truly 1/2  I got the No Doubt reference, but had no chance of naming a Blackstreet song

5) Finger Lakes 3/2  Seneca and Cayuga did it for me.  I think will be tough for non-NYers, could draw some Iroquois Nation answers

6) Patella 2/1  leg bones

Dave M Day 4

3/6 – was expecting better but read a question too fast.

 

1 : ( The 54 Tour. Of course it’s LIV. I’ve been reading about the tour and the controversy and everything and never made the link. D12

2 : ) Honey Nut Cheerios. Was nervous about this but figured a bee had to mean honey. D00

3 : ) Hanseatic. Also the origin of the Hansa in Lufthansa incidentally. I’ve been to Tallinn which was also a Hanseatic port. D21

4 : ) No Diggity. Well this dredged up some great 1990s pop music memories. D23

5 : ( Iriquois. I somehow stopped reading this question halfway through when I saw the names of the lakes and assumed it was the Iriquois tribes. Didn’t even get to the point where it said the answer is 2 words. D32

6 : ( Pelvis. Had no idea. D11
