 4/6 again. 

1. Havana :), D21. American history gimme. 
2. Ben Johnson :), D23. I only knew the runner. I didn’t realize this was the name of the Bears’ coach or anyone else on the list. It’s a great question. 
3. Micro :(, D10. No idea. 
4. Sesame chicken :(, D01. I had no doubt I was right here. I bet this is an MCW that is more common than the right answer. 
5. Vector :), D32. Spent some time on this before I convinced myself it was an epidemiological word. 
6. Get off my plane :), D12. This came out right in the middle of high school for me and is therefore right in my wheelhouse. Five years earlier or later and I’m sure I’d have had no clue.

 3/6

1) arcsecond 1/3  Never heard of this.  Is this some metric thing? 

2) Bahrain 2/1  Process of elimination, I didn't know Bahrain was an island but I knew the other gulf nation were on land.

3) Stay 2/2  For as famous as Jolene is, I've never heard it

4) Ferguson 3/2  Haven't watched late night since the 90s

5) Homo erectus 0/1   Gimme.   heh heh he said erectus

6) 1863 1/0   The only speech with math

Marcus addendum

I just spotted that I answered home erectus due to autocorrect, will I be given the points ?

Terrible 2/6 today and a sure loss with not recognizing the Gettysburg address at all and assuming Q6 was difficult as a result.

 

1 : ( Radian. I knew Radians came from a different way of breaking down a circle but not the minor units. D00

2 : ) Bahrain. Bahrainis would greatly dislike the formulation of this question, when working in the ME we were instructed to use "Arabian Gulf" when in the countries on the South/West side.

3 : ( Leave. Was strangely confident about this one. D22

4 : ( Jay Leno. Nope. D22

5 : ) Homo Erectus. Simple Q I would have D00ed if Math wasn't the top category of both opponents.

6 : ( 1748 Figured this was a shipwrecked crew or similar. D33

 4/6. Defense should be obvious against me, and there’s no excuse for letting me get more than 4 points. 

1. Grad :), D23. On many scientific calculators. I think this will play pretty hard. 
2. Bahrain :), D11. Gimme. 
3. Get him :(, D12. No idea, of course. 
4. Kimmel :(, D21. Was debating between Fallon and Kimmel and picked wrong. Too bad. It wouldn’t have shocked me if neither had been correct. 
5. Homo erectus :), D32. I went down a bit of the wrong path here, thinking at first this had something to do with Da Vinci and Vitruvian Man. But once I realized where I should go, it was clear. 
6. 1863 :), D00. Gimme.
