I'm on a nasty slide. I actually thought of the company, but didn't think it was right and went with another that I also knew wouldn't be right.

Friday's answer: El Al

Monday's category: Women Authors

"In addition to her novels, she also wrote a children's book about Sun Yat-Sen & an "Oriental Cookbook"

Bensell 18-3

I was trying to think of the wrong answer 2 of the contestants answered but couldn't come up with her name so I went with the correct answer. God month lads, believe this is the first time I've ever won.

Edited as J-lo said, I kind of forgot a big part of this exercise

How the fuck did you guys know that? At least my wrong answer matched two of the contestants.

It was the only name that came to mind. I'm not well read.

It's pretty much because of being on the academic team in high school and memorizing the nobel winners and what their books were about that gave me the hint I needed on this one.

I Googled her after and realized that I didn't know a damn thing about her or her books. Never read one. I recognized her name, but that's it.
