Are you sure? My answer was post #86. But I’m willing to be corrected - which one was Scruloose’s?  
[/QUOTE]

Post #37, although I answered in a less direct way by offering: _Actresses who have slept with Marc Antony_. Marc Antony, as I’m sure you are aware, went on to become a popular Latin music singer who married Jennifer Lopez.

Correct, but guessed earlier by **Scruloose**

Are you sure? My answer was post #86. But I’m willing to be corrected - which one was Scruloose’s?  
[/QUOTE]

\<\<\< I see in preview that **Scruloose** has answered in essentially the same terms as I have below, but since I had typed this up, I’ll send it along as further confirmation \>\>\>

First off, please read #93. There you will see what **Scruloose** had answered (albeit obliquely) in Post #37, ( you can see where I acknowledged that in Post #40), and that I quoted the contents of Post #37 in #93.

The fact that he didn’t come right out and say “Cleopatra,” and thus didn’t say precisely what my answer would have been, was not a factor in my accepting his answer. I even said how much I was impressed by how he worded it.

I can understand how the lack of reference in any of those posts to “Cleopatra” might be confusing. For that I apologize to you.

\*\*\* PS: I am assuming that **Scruloose** is male to avoid all the he/she constructions. If that’s an error, I apologize for that, too. 🙂

That’ll teach me the consequences of not following links. I thought the link was the Google result of searching all four terms at once. :smack:

Correctimundo. As for the link to the Mon-Tues-Wednes-Thurs thing, it appears to require Nus or Uns or Snu instead of Fri’s variations.

Please, players, if any of your groups have yet to be solved, repost them. All mine have been solved, but some of the others have had unconfirmed guesses – as best I can tell.

Alternatively, would somebody do a gathering into one post of what’s left to be answered?

Here’s another one in the meantime:

Z7-1 Birmingham  
Z7-2 Memphis  
Z7-3 Louisville  
Z7-4 New Orleans  
Z7-5 Miami  
Z7-6 Los Angeles
