Oh my bad
Let me look at this.
Fence and Nail for sure.
Titanic - 4
Ship
Flute
???
???
Hacksaw Ridge - 3
Vet
Day
???
Stars and Stripes Forever - 2
Eagle
Flute
Home Improvement - unlimited
Fence
Nail
I don't think Home Improvement can be more than 2 because of all our unaccounted words
I don't think it can be less than 2 because it doesn't hit any word strong enough for a 1+
So the 2 remaining words are either both Titanic and 1 Hacksaw Ridge overlap
Or
Eagle is also Titanic from the arms outstretched pose at the front of the ship
So Apple and Millionaire next as you say.
Probably have to stick with the list but let's see if we can make all the pieces fit.
I like Millionaire and Apple for Titanic, but neither for Hacksaw Ridge.
Could Eagle be for Hacksaw Ridge somehow?
The only thing I can think of for Eagle/Hacksaw ridge is the association of the US with bald eagles, but that seems pretty weak.
Could Fence or Nail be for Hacksaw Ridge?
I can't think of anything, no
I think we've got to do something here.
I think we're both leaning
Fence
Nail
Millionaire
Apple
Even if we don't understand everything it's pretty much the only thing we've come up with.
Agreed. I don't see any way we come up with an answer we like better
Fence
Nail
Millionaire
Apple
Seems right
Yeah, that's it. Nice job. Got lucky that all our blockers were neutral.
Ack. I was sweating that one lol
glad we got there, good clues
I am trusting the clue, which is why I’m never guessing fence.
With three left:
n-1 = 2+top of list
unlimited = 2+2nd on list
n = neither 1st nor 2nd on list
In very rare instances, unlimited can mean 1+run the list. In order for this to be true, the clue has to unmistakably be a 1-clue.
Which single word on this board do you think is unmistakably best clued by “Groundhog Day?”
This is spot on
I woulda clued Time (top 3 Pink Floyd Song) or lots of other stuff if just for tick so it wasn’t top 2 so was just number 2
I thought about U2’s Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of but wasn’t sure if people would think that’s kosher; while lyrics include that, it’s really about the title words that are in the lyrics
So Groundhog Day was for being stuck in time; tick for time and paste for stuck
Not really any other way to clue paste other than meaning stuck in this format
So Hangover they go from LA to Vegas then back to LA so Hollywood was the 5th hangover word
And Argo is about hostages from the US embassy in Iran and sending movie makers over there, so to pickup Hollywood like you did + embassy which you put high enough on list to functionally get
Stupid paste
I like this variant with decent words, but so far I got some bad words each game
Good effort Nich, we almost got there
Argo was an excellent clue, it's just impossible to know if your team has seen any particular movie to be able to get the clue.
