Game #145: Parasitic Pairs

[mrkelley23]

And 64. MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT = Mary Wells, who miraculously pairs up with 28. Smokey Robinson.

I can't find any more.

Frank, I can't help but feel bad at how much we stumbled around on this one. I blame myself, mostly for being so much in awe of smiler's prowess at Tangredis.

Didn't trust myself to seize on the right thread.

I very much enjoyed the clues and the chase.

I feel bad that it was so hard!

This isn't finished yet. There's a specific reason, specified in the rules. why neither of the partials suggested for Gustave Flaubert work. The actual correct pair may be somewhat hard to find, though.

AHA! I was bothered by that loose end, too, but didn't think about the fact that the rule specifies different capacities when a person is used twice. So it's not George Sand, the contemporary and friend of Gustave Flaubert, but

1. JAMES MADISON = James MASON, who starred in the best film adaptation of Madame Bovary, best-known novel of 96. Gustave Flaubert.

In fact, he PLAYED Flaubert in that movie.

(And you thought you couldn't get anymore....)

Does this mean the game is complete? It's the first in my memory where I was actually able to contribute to the implementation of the Tangredi. --Bob

By my count, it's complete. We have 53 matches; the four used twice were Martin Arrowsmith, George Jefferson, James Madison, and George Sternberg.

Yup, it's done.

I don't know when the next game will be ready, but it won't involve anagrams. It gets harder and harder to find some new twist on that.
