Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. Since "Mining" is first in the name I'd go with that over "furniture manufacturer".

1. easy.

2 easy.

3. No idea. I JTQ like he did.

4. Caffeine is supposed to keep you alert, so that's my final answer.

5. Two of the choices are outdoors (Times Square and Central Park), I'm not sure what Madison Square Garden is made of, but I know Grand Central Station is big, old, and made of granite.

6. easy. I read this in a trivia book.

So entering today I have a JTQ and ATA left.

Is this the same Elliot Yates who was on J! last week?
