For the third straight day, Greyhound posted the best score. He and Fannie each scored 19/20. Greyhound's lead has now swelled to 22.

These scores also reflect the changes from the "Lyrics" question. Those with the correct Spin Doctors line of "rockets" got a point. And unfortunately, I'll have to take a point away from AJ for "lockets".
