DD2 – 1,200 – BIBLICAL WOMEN – By covering them with stalks of flax, Rahab the harlot protected Joshua’s spies from being discovered in this city (Abigail added 4,000 up to 12,000 vs. 8,400 for Mustafa.)

EUROPEAN HISTORY – On January 20, 1649, he asked “by what power I am called hither? It is not long since that I was in the Isle of Wight”

Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the music genre started by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson “as a rebellion against an established sound” was outlaw country.

Ken’s Korner: If not for having watched this season of South Park, I would have had no idea why he said 6,7 is “for the kids”, or why they played canned laughter after it.

Correct Qs: DD1 – What is Land Rover? DD2 – What is Jericho? DD3 – What is Mayfair? FJ – Who was King Charles I?
