I'm leaving the highlighted cell in that screenshot. This is a low-budget production.

Remember - please continue to answer even if you've been eliminated from the bracket.

Like last week, deadline is Friday at noon.

CHANGING OT QUESTION.

Answer now has to be one of the top eleven sunniest MAJOR CITIES in the US. The definition used by the site for "Major City" is that it has a metro area population over 1,000,000. There are 56 such cities that qualified (in 2020).

If this changes your answer you can resubmit.

Does Q2 imply that no previous elements are named after people or can you not say?

Yeah, I’m reading that as elements with atomic numbers higher than plutonium. Is that it?

Correct, after Plutonium on the table.

Didn't want to go back and check every element to make sure there wasn't like a Rick Tungsten

Yep, that's the fun of it, really. You can go for lowest number of the round and then GP gives you Swampbucks or a star... or something.

No prob Sabes, you're well before the deadline. So is everybody, as we're all locked in and ready to go around noontime.

There will be another OT game this week as well.

Also, there may be some answer controversies this week but as far as I can see they don't actually affect the results. I didn't realize until the answers started coming in that there's not really an official list of birthstones.

I did not realize there were so many birthstones or I would have made the question more restrictive. Some gem association lists 12, however Wiki and others have a bunch for many of these months and there's like 20+ actual correct answers. Decided to count all of them.

Most of the games are in TV timeout so let's go to the studio to check on the action across the country.

All games are currently at the half.

Got a few one point games here, Cerrano and Citgo going at it in the Everglades at the ValuJet Memorial site and Pruitt taking on Carwash in Cleveland. All games are within striking distance if someone gets hot in the 2nd half.

Sancarlos having himself a good day in the fake NIT.
