Suzanne joked that she didn't know where to start studying for BAM so she decided to study maps. She started with Africa ("one of those 'A' continents) but only got as far as Algeria. So if Meredith could arrange 14 questions about Algeria, Suzanne would be in good shape.

"Ahhh...Bach."

I was really impressed with how willing Suzanne was to go for it, even if she wasn't 100% sure. I don't think most people would have answered Bach unless they were sure. Classical composers tend to run together for most people.
