The five who played this round managed to get a few points on the board.
Grid 1:
ALEXANDER | ATLAS | BELL | CARVER
COOKIE | DAWSON | GUY | HAYS
HERB | JENNER | JULIUS | LITTLE
MASON | MORSE | WAGSTAFF | ZIP
Lots of inventors, famous Richards, and jars in this grid. It probably shouldn't surprise you that the perfect solution included none of those categories.
1. GUY | HAYS | MORSE | ZIP
_____ code. The Hays Code concerned censorship in motion pictures between the 1930s-1960s.
2. ALEXANDER | COOKIE | HERB | JULIUS
Characters in the comic strip Blondie. Julius is Mr. Dithers' first name.
3. BELL | CARVER | LITTLE | WAGSTAFF
These were also fictional characters, but in something a little darker than a comic strip.
Characters on "The Wire". Stringer Bell, Ellis Carver, Omar Little, and Randy Wagstaff.
4. ATLAS | DAWSON | JENNER | MASON
I would have doubled over if anybody had spotted this category.
Craters on the Moon.
Grid 2:
BRASS | CHARLESTON | ESCAPE | FOXTROT
GOULASH | HAWK | OSCAR | POCKET
PONG | RED DRAGON | SHOGUN | TANGO
TWIST | WATUSI | WHIRLWIND | WHISKEY
The dances were obvious, but not in the perfect solution.
1. FOXTROT | OSCAR | TANGO | WHISKEY
Everybody got this one. Letters of the NATO phonetic alphabet.
2. BRASS | HAWK | POCKET | TWIST
Charles Dickens characters. Sampson Brass, Sir Mulberry Hawk, Matthew Pocket, and the famous Oliver Twist.
3. ESCAPE | SHOGUN | WATUSI | WHIRLWIND
Things written by James Clavell.
4. CHARLESTON | GOULASH | PONG | RED DRAGON
Mahjongg terms.
5/26 + 5/27 + 5/28 Scores (8 participants)
Bob Juch - 18 + 36 + 12 = 66
themanintheseersuckersuit - 10 + 8 + 12 = 30
franktangredi - 4 + 12 + 12 = 28
ShamelessWeasel - 4 + 14 + 8 = 26
smilergrogan - 6 + 10 + 8 = 24
jarnon - 2 + 10 + 0 = 12
