ANAGRANDMA
UNIQUE NEW YORK
TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
After Unique NY's done already, Andrew uses the HSS on Children's Books...then he goes DDH right in the center of Talk About the Weather...& later Abbrev-"e"-ations before Eric takes over that position for a clue. When halftime's reached, Andrew has a $1K lead over Eric $1,800-$800, while Renee's $600 in the hole (Andrew also had that negative score earlier).
The DD is eventually found by...Renee on the $1K Talk About the Weather answer w/ only $800; Andrew's slightly ahead of Eric $4,200-$3,800. For a positive $1,800:
T.S. Eliot wrote "Under the brown..." one of these "...of a winter dawn, a crowd flowed over London Bridge".
"Fog? What is fog?"...yes indeed & she has the third-place DJ! advantage w/ $2K, half of Eric's 2nd-place score & Andrew still has a $400 lead.
ATTEMPTED LT: $1,600
UNATTEMPTED LT: $3,800
TOTAL LT: $5,400

GEOMETRY
"NORTH", "SOUTH", "EAST" & "WEST"
After the first two compass answers, Andrew again tries DDH dead center in Geometry...right away, he has it w/ $5,200; Renee just moved to $2,400. The wager from Andrew will be two grand.
All points on the surface of this geometric solid are equidistant from its center.
"What is a sphere?"...he's on the mark for $7,200! Andrew then tries it a couple more times...but Eric has one of his own tonight from the $2K The High Middle Ages box w/ $9,200, $8K off the pace; Renee's barely hanging in there at $4,400. The champ goes for twice the face value of this:
In 1054, the "Great Schism" divided the power of the Catholic church between these two cities, in East & West.
"What is Rome & Constantinople?"...both are right! Time runs out on both that subject's & Geometry's $400 clues.
