Here's another GroganGame

[franktangredi]

Since there are two wrong answers, I've restored the questions, below. I have placed asterisks next to those I've been able to confirm quickly, and urge others to do the same.

Combine the answers to the following 78 questions to make 29 pairs and 8 trios, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover. Four answers will be used twice, each in two different capacities.

There will probably be some unanticipated alternate matches, but with any luck everything will clear itself up in the end.

[mellytu74]

Barbara Jordan, Zack Wheat and Hobey Baker are all definitely correct.

Wheat was a longtime Dodger before joining them A's; Jordan's speeches are Nixon's impeachment and the convention keynote and Hobey Baker is in the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame, too. I have the magnet.

Baker is also buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, the same cemetery as Anna Jarvis, who founded Mother's Day.

Note: It's sister cemetery, Laurel Hill Cemetery, is where all sorts of Biddles and Peales and the like are buried. Also Sarah Josepha Hale. Interesting tour.

[NellyLunatic1980]

D. Torres, G. Eastman, J. Bruckheimer, J. Entwistle, D. Cherry, B. Freehan, T. Gonzalez, H. Hyde, P. Jones, and B. Riggs are all 100% correct.

[plasticene]

61. This busy conductor currently directs a major symphony orchestra and a major opera house, each in a different city
*JAMES LEVINE

I think Levine is probably the desired answer, but it actually could be someone else. For instance, Kent Nagano is music director of the Montreal Symphony and of the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich. I wouldn't be surprised if there are others.

[smilergrogan]

One of the wrong answers now has an asterisk. I think you may be misreading the question. Your answer is better known (as far as I can tell), but also definitely wrong, according to all the sources I can find. The correct answer is more logical in the context of the question, though lesser known (again, as far as I can tell - I am no expert on the subject).

For the other wrong one, your answer is the most obvious wrong answer, and I had to be careful in writing the clue to make it specific to the correct answer (this one is on a subject I know much better than the first one, and no, it's not Mike Shannon - he's right).

James Levine is right, as are all those mentioned by Nelly and Melly (hey, Nelly and Melly!)

The composer one is based on information I found on the internet, and although it appears in several different places that I've found, they all appear to be copied from the same source, so maybe it's not the most reliable. I don't own a copy of the piece of music in question, so I haven't been able to listen to the whole thing myself, but snippets I've found are at least somewhat reminiscent of "When You Wish Upon a Star".

The puzzle could work with associated words, but I decided not to include them because I thought that might make it too easy. If it goes on a while longer with no progress, I can supply some words.

[Bob78164]

Since there are two wrong answers, I've restored the questions, below. I have placed asterisks next to those I've been able to confirm quickly, and urge others to do the same.

69. On February 22 of this year, news organizations noted the second anniversary of the last time he had uttered a word in the publicly visible part of his high profile job
*CLARENCE THOMAS

[franktangredi]

73. As Prime Minister, he was blamed for the humiliating events which were widely considered to mark the formal end of Britain's superpower status
*ANTHONY EDEN

This was my answer, and I suspect it's the one that's wrong. The Suez Crisis was a failure for Britain, but probably nobody at the time thought of it as the end of Britain's superpower status. (The beginning of the end perhaps.) After all, James Bond still had his best years ahead of him.

Britain's real decline was universally acknowledged by the 1970s, so the answer could be Wilson or Callaghan. But I'm not sure.

Maybe Harold MacMillan, PM during the Christine Keeler/Profumo affair in 1963?

[smilergrogan]

No, Eden is who I was going for. Even if he was wasn't, I couldn't say it was a definitively wrong answer, since I wrote an overly ambiguous clue. The two wrong ones are both definitively wrong, based on the facts given in the clues.

[Bob78164]

77. He and Harriet Miers are currently the subject of a lawsuit filed by the U.S. House to force them to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the firings of U.S. attorneys
JOSH BOLTON

This is confirmed correct, though the surname is spelled BOLTEN. --Bob

39. For the teetotaller too embarrassed to order a Shirley Temple, the masculine version named for this actor substitutes lime juice for grenadine
*ROY ROGERS

I think this is the wrong "correct" answer. I'd guessed this originally, but in trying to confirm I found that a Roy Rogers is also made with grenadine.

A FREDDIE BARTHOLOMEW, however, is made with lime juice and not grenadine, fitting the clue.

[franktangredi]

Since Mark has identified the asterisked one that was incorrect, here is a consolidation. I've again removed the questions from the ones that seem to be confirmed. One of the remaining questions with an answer is wrong. The others are right.

I'll be away all day playing Scrabble. No ideas yet on the Tangredi, but the fact that so many of the names are words does seem possibly significant.

Combine the answers to the following 78 questions to make 29 pairs and 8 trios, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover. Four answers will be used twice, each in two different capacities.

There will probably be some unanticipated alternate matches, but with any luck everything will clear itself up in the end.

[Weyoun]

Sorry, I have been in the Scottish Highlands and not really near a computer. What I can do to help:

RICK MONDAY is definitely the first baseball draft pick ever.

My thought is that the dispersion forces refer to the London forces, which are a subset of van der Waals forces. So the answer I believe is London, who has a German first name since he was German, despite his very British name. The idea is that molecules lacking a dipole still can create a momentary one through random electron cloud shifts, allowing them to create positive/negative interactions that allow them to attract.

[Weyoun]

BTW, I only have a tiny thought on the Tangredi. I noticed Weymouth is there, and Weymouth was once home to Christopher Wren, which is a bit of a coincidence. However, I'm not seeing near enough place names for this to work, unless a lot of people were from ancient Elam. Sadly, Untash-Napirisha is not a choice.

[Weyoun]

Hmm, we have a Sherwood, and SHERWOOD Anderson was from CLYDE, Ohio, but I don't know if that gets us any farther. On the subject of Clyde, I am going to walk along the Clyde, since I am currently three blocks north of it.

[NellyLunatic1980]

I will agree with FRITZ LONDON on #32.

[NellyLunatic1980]

JOHN TOWER is also correct, so we're right back to the composer at #70.

[franktangredi]

... and I still have no clue on the Tangredi, but at least we know all the answers we have are correct.

Sort of, but not in the way he was thinking. Frank also made a relevant comment.

I can provide an associated words list if you and any others still working on the game want.

I, for one, would prefer not to just yet.

[Weyoun]

What about this? George Eastman was from Rochester. Another Henry Hyde was the historical Duke of Rochester.

Again, weird coincidence, but it doesn't feel *right.*

[mrkelley23]

Maybe this will help lead us to the Tangredi, if it's not it.

Mike SHANNON and CLYDE Tombaugh both have names that correspond to rivers in the UK.

Don CHERRY, Lauren HOLLY, and John BIRCH all could refer to types of trees.

Kenneth MARS and Suzanne VEGA refer to heavenly bodies.

Zach WHEAT and John HAY refer to grasses

And so forth.

[NellyLunatic1980]

Mr. K might be on to something...

Dara TORRES and KIM Basinger refer to characters from "Star Trek: Voyager"
