Imitation Bricker Challenge

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I’ve been planning on doing something like this for quite a while and I think I’ve come up with something pretty good. This will be sort of like crossword puzzle clues but without the puzzle grid; each item might have more than one answer but only one will be exact. Further, each correct answer will have a connection of some sort to at least one other answer. First one to get all 48 answers correct wins a Danish Kringle of their choice. I think the bakery offers sugar free desserts if it turns out that the winner is diabetic.

Ohmigod. I haven’t had kringle from Racine in such a long time. Where do I sign up, and how do I fix the results?

One of the markets near here offers honest-to-Og Danish Kringle, but still I welcome the challenge. And I anyway suck at these, so I expect the rest of you to mop the floor with me.
