I believe that his first name was STEPHEN.Estonut wrote: 74. His bold action in destroying a captured American ship made him a national hero – and helped him become the youngest man ever to achieve the rank of captain in the U.S. Navy.
DECATUR - Don't recall his first name, but I looked him up a long time ago when I wondered why so many places were named Decatur.
Side note: For a long time Decatur, Illiniois had a minor-league baseball team called, unsurprisingly, the Commodores. They were perhaps better known by their nickname, though, which pretty much fell out of favor not long after this logo was popularized. (And yes, I have this shirt...)

Re: Game #192: House of Games
I actually found this one out on Quora this morning when someone answered a question about directors working with actors and they mentioned the classic silent version of Joan of Arc by CARL THEODOR DREYER. A bit of research revealed that one of his most acclaimed sound movies was Day of Wrath in which a character was burned at the stake for being a witch.jarnon wrote: 5. This director’s masterpieces were a silent film that depicts events leading to the protagonist being burned alive – and a sound film that depicts events leading to the protagonist being burned alive.
Maybe this will kickstart this puzzle again. I'll try to look at it some more later. I still think Kam Fong is the key... it's got to have something to do with names

Re: Game #192: House of Games
I think when all the questions are answered, the solution (if not all the correct matches) will leap to your eye.
Incidentally, I recently saw Day of Wrath on TCM and it's wonderful. And when I watched the bonus tracks on the DVD of Babette's Feast, the Danish director talked about how fortunate he was to be able to cast several actors who had worked with Dreyer. I've wanted to get him into a game for a long time.

Re: Game #192: House of Games
Updated consolidation… Did a little bit of confirming, and added Howard Unruh as the mass murderer in 24 and Kate Upton as the model -- the clue does not specify whether it was her first cover, and the 2017 cover was pretty special (and spectacular, IMHO). Also added Mr. Bennet as the Pride and Prejudice character in 52. Doing that made me wonder if we were looking for Democratic presidential candidates, but Pete Buttigieg would be a hard get for Frank, methinks.

Re: Game #192: House of Games
This, then, is my fault. I should have specified that it was her only cover. Sorry for a bad question. I should have realized how many athletes marry models - because they can. As an added clue, the husband in question is a baseball player.mrkelley23 wrote:Updated consolidation… Did a little bit of confirming, and added Howard Unruh as the mass murderer in 24 and Kate Upton as the model -- the clue does not specify whether it was her first cover, and the 2017 cover was pretty special (and spectacular, IMHO).
Aside from that one, four other definite answers are not what I had in mind. #86 is my fault; it didn't occur to me that there might be two correct answers to that question. #40 is ambiguous, but I would contend that he doesn't fulfill the whole clue. The other two definitely fulfill part of the clue but not all of it. Also, one answer is right but the last name is wrong, which may or may not matter.
The answers with question marks are right. The ones with alternative answers all contain the correct answer.
I think there are one or two pairs that might unlock this thing as it stands, although SSS must still look in vain for his Kam Fong match.
Identify the 100 people in the clues below. Then, match them into 50 pairs according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
There will undoubtedly be alternate matches, but only one solution will allow you to use each name once.

15. Along with his two colleagues, this New Zealand scientist won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing polymers material that conduct electricity.

Well, I think I know where Frank got the inspiration for this puzzle.
BTW, one of the few questions I remember from the Art Fleming version of Jeopardy asked who was the junior senator from Arizona.

Of course, the answer was Barry Goldwater, who was very much in the news at that time (Hayden was the senior senator.)

Well, I think I know where Frank got the inspiration for this puzzle.
BTW, one of the few questions I remember from the Art Fleming version of Jeopardy asked who was the junior senator from Arizona. Everyone drew a blank and Art said something to the effect of "you're going to hate yourselves for this." Of course, the answer was Barry Goldwater, who was very much in the news at that time (Hayden was the senior senator.)

Re: Game #192: House of Games
I think this is the first time a puzzle has been solved close to midnight on a Saturday. Good job!
#40 was apparently too ambiguous as worded. Let me add, then, that the person I want was actually known as the "Father of the Northwest Territory."
Two other answers are also still wrong, but they will probably work themselves out.

Re: Game #192: House of Games
Frank Underwood was never a Senator. He was the Majority Whip of the House who became Vice President and then, like Gerald Ford, became President without ever being elected by the country as a whole. Of course, unlike Ford, Underwood was directly responsible for the chain of events that led to both of his promotions.jarnon wrote: Frank never allows answers based on the title of the game, but an alternative for South Carolina is:

Re: Game #192: House of Games
Sorry for the error, I’ve never watched House of Cards. So Frank’s ineligible because he never was a senator, there’s already a match for S.C., and something else I can’t put my finger on right now.silverscreenselect wrote:Frank Underwood was never a Senator.

Re: Game #192: House of Games
I expect there's a Davis to go with Jefferson Smith, and a Russell or maybe Huey to go with Crawford Long, and a Baker to go with Howard Unruh.franktangredi wrote:Two other answers are also still wrong, but they will probably work themselves out.
This could be 52. MR. BENNET. I looked the name up, and there's a Senator Bennet from Colorado (used) and Senator Bennett from Utah (unused).franktangredi wrote:Also, one answer is right but the last name is wrong, which may or may not matter.
Update: The Pride and Prejudice character is definitely Mr. Bennet, so I'm befuddled.

Re: Game #192: House of Games
40. is RUFUS PUTNAM
That may lead to Rufus King, early senator from New York.
I think Gary Hart must be an alternate match, since Mr. Bennet doesn't have a first name and Michael Bennet of Colorado is the only one of his name to serve in the Senate. Unless the clue didn't refer to Mr. Bennet from P&P.
36. PATTY + 61. Margaret MURRAY = Patty Murray of Washington
15. ALAN Macdiarmid + 53. Wallis SIMPSON = Alan Simpson of Wyoming
42. HAROLD Godwinson + 99. Langston HUGHES = Harold Hughes of Iowa.
65. DENNIS Gabor + 10. Cesar CHAVEZ = Dennis Chavez of New Mexico.
