I liked the Hans Christian Andersen and the literary marriage sections, but I could only get half.

Section 9 is about champagne, 10 is French towns and 16 is red. I know nothing about motorcycles…

Section 8 isn’t too bad, but could 8.9 be a mistake by the compilers? Edward VIII announced his abdication from his house in Sunningdale; did someone confuse it with Wentworth, home of another famous golf course near Windsor?

Definitely not Google-proof: we (my wife, my son and I) got only about a dozen “legitimately,” but were able with the aid of Google, to come up with another forty or so. Of course some of this has to be “smart Googling,” i.e., guessing what to google for or, conversely, using Google for an initial clue or definition that then leads back to a wrinkle in one’s own knowledge.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to All who celebrate it, and appropriate Seasonal Greetings to the rest of you.

It’s not all googleproof, though one has to use a bit of imagination here and there.

17.1-10 are Sherlock Holmes related, I think.

Section 8 looks doable. Debo and Peason together.

Are the questions getting more dificult or am I losing it? I’ve got the connections for sections 9 and 10 – I think.

I got 7.9, so it’s probably the easiest one…

9.9 I think I have a clue about.

The rest? Arrrgh!
