Snaxx Level 10

(showing the closest I came...)

This would make up for the WWO stuff like Daniel Boone and Chamberlain...


On a more serious note, I figured Guantanamera would refer to Guantanamo= Cuba, answered, found I was right, then looked at the level listed as 10. That might have made me worry about a trick, since I figure associating something looking that much like Guantanamo to Cuba would be much lower than level 10.

Gosh, he missed a really big clue in the question. And judging from the audience's reaction, they did, too.

Question 2 – Latin Music
Popularized in the U.S. by Pete Seeger, “Guantanamera” is a folk anthem of what Latin American country?
A. Mexico
B. Haiti
C. Cuba
D. Dominican Republic

This is the second time I've wondered whether a Level 10 question should be. Are they not listing them from easiest to hardest at the outset anymore?

I thought they might use the remaining time for a 1Q contestant.

I recall hearing this sung by The Sandpipers but didn't know that Seeger had popularized it.

OK, now that I see yesterday's transcript, I would not have any problems with these, either.

I guess he didn't know that Coca-Cola is headquartered in Atlanta.
