You’re too kind. Often I only remember things vaguely or guess; For example [big spoilers/hints]:

#1: I have the album, so…
#2: I see posters for it regularly here. Haven’t seen it yet though.
#3: If it weren’t for the mention of Hulk Hogan I wouldn’t have guessed this at all as I’d never used the site, but I remember the lawsuit killing it.
#4: Easy one - Wyoming geysers, etc
#5: My first thought was “uranium glass” but it said specifically “ceramics” and the clues mentioned “uranium” too much for it to be part of the answer. Still, it took me ages to remember the name of it.
#6: First thought was the other famous book by Victor Hugo, but the clues matched the right answer somewhat better.
#7: Usually they don’t include a significant part of the name in the clues, but…“toads”.
#8: Haven’t read the book and have only seen the film remake but I do know that Lem wrote it.
#9: Seriously - I saw a reference to her appearance on “Hot Ones” recently and went “Who the hell is that?” so I looked her up at the time. Still haven’t listened to any of her stuff.
#10: Another relatively easy one.

Talked myself out of a right answer, dammit

meh. Two of them I probably would have gotten if I’d thought harder.

Oof. Brutal.

I again talked myself out the right answer for #1 but the rest there was no chance on.

This was one of those days where I either knew it, or knew I couldn’t come up with even a reasonable guess.

Wasn’t sure whether #7 referred to one person or two. I guessed wrongly, but was half-right anyway.

:cat::cat::fish::fish::cat:

#7 had the category “Recipients of the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award”. While it didn’t help me pick the right answer (50% chance and I went the right way), that award is given by my small undergrad college in Maine and doesn’t come up that often in general practice.

414

I made an educated guess based on the fact that there were no references to being Jewish.

:cat::cat::cat::cat::fish:

Not bad after yesterday’s disaster. All the one’s I didn’t get are one’s I had never heard of, so I don’t feel that bad.

416

Not too bad today.

overthought 9. Almost overthought 4, but didn’t.
