You folks are crazy-good at this. I found that one very hard, happy to get 4/10. Maybe could have gotten the camera company and the extinct bovine if given _lots_ of time to think about it. Had heard of the feminist novel, but never would have remembered it. Picked the wrong movie - probably should have gotten that one. ---

#838 - 9.5/10 πŸŽ‰ 🐈🐈🐈🐈πŸ₯š 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 Couldn’t remember the exact name of #5 although I remember my wife showing me the news article on it, but I’m claiming that _tiger cat_ is close enough for government work. And I owe #6 to my daughter’s History A levels last year, which had a module on that very subject.
