Re: Game #147: The Gospel Truth FIRST CONSOLIDATION
We seem to have dueling consolidations here. Here are my comments on this one.
Regarding Question 1: I acknowledged that the question was ambiguously worded. I'm looking, not necessarily for the largest percentage of the popular vote, but the largest margin of victory. The correct answer is one of the ones listed here.
Of the 'definite' answers, only one is incorrect. I checked, and it is definitely incorrect.
Of the answers that include a single name with a question mark, 11 are correct and 3 are incorrect.
Of the answers that include more than one choice, 13 include the correct answer and only 1 does not.

Re: Game #147: The Gospel Truth
And here are my comments on this one, which may make it even easier to reconcile the two consolidations.
See my previous comments on question 1.
Of the 'definite' answers, three are incorrect.
Of the answers that include a single name with a question mark, three are correct and three are incorrect.
Of the answers that contain several alternate names, all ten include the correct answer.

NYC's best restaurant is Le Bernardin. One of the founders died 20 years ago, but his sister is still around. Even though your pronoun is wrong, I would hope that you are looking for MAGUY LE COZE. (If you're looking for the more famous Eric Ripert, then the tenure length is wrong. He has only been at that restaurant since Maguy's brother died.)

Re: Game #147: The Gospel Truth
This troubles me, Pastor, because I know you are an intelligent man and a good reader.
Frank's clue bears no resemblance to all the assumptions you have made above. In fact, I'm now reasonably sure the restaurant he refers to is Lutece, which closed in 2004, and the chef in question, who does fit all the clues, is Andre Soltner.

Two of the definite answers on this are not what I had in mind. The Capitol building question wasn't specific enough so, rather than let you flounder, I'll just say that the person you need to use as Latrobe. The other is just wrong ... by ten years.
Of the ones with a single answer with a question mark, three are right and four are wrong.
Of the ones with several alternates, ALL of them include the right answer.

Of the ones with a single answer with a question mark, three are right and four are wrong.
Of the ones with several alternates, ALL of them include the right answer.

Re: Game #147: The Gospel Truth - MIDNIGHT consolidation
Okay! You certainly have more than enough here to take a good run at the Tangredi!
All of the definite answers are correct except one. My clue for #32 may not be specific enough, but the answer given is definitely wrong since she fails to match one of the main conditions of the clue. I will add the clue that the person in question has written a book entitled Pornland.
All of the answers with a single question mark are correct. All of the answers with multiple alternates contain the correct answer.
