There is really only one excuse for getting that wrong and it's a bad one.

And it wouldn't give you either of the wrong answers the actual players came up with.

Missed Lost in Space and got last night's. And how does AB have an extra question this month?

Because he can't add right (even when supposedly adding 0). But he knows he's still a game up on howie and now you!

This is one of those ones that is a good reason why I make myself watch the episode before I post. I would have gotten this easy had I had time to think but I fucked up the board layout and math because I was rushing to get an answer out in 30 seconds.

Bah.

For the chess board, I did 8x2 + 7x2 instead of 6x2. Stupid.

Had no idea about the Tony, but I correctly guessed from the other half. I guess it helps that I was in eighth grade then.

I just watched it. There was a science category, a San Francisco cat (including the addresses of the Dead house and of the ballpark), and a cat for basketball movies/tv shows, including The White Shadow which I knew three cast members irl, so not really for me. Kinda right down the middle of the plate for me.

Was it celebrity or teen week last week? Got all 5, dragging myself up to a respectable score. I just saw Lost is Space for the first time ever last week. It was on MeTV. I didn't watch more than 2 minutes. It was the only old live action TV show set in the future that I could think of.
