Tonga - 3

wat

Is shark seriously ours? I don't see any other reason to give a 3 clue here, but I'm quite surprised.

Best I can do for Tonga is Greece/Crown/Cross. Don't love any of them though.

Bump

Greece/crown/cross seems like a perfect combo for Epiphany, but maybe that’s just my Tarpon Springs showing

But yeah, if shark was our makeup, then we have to bold it here. Maybe it’s neutral and he just wanted to get a tough 3-clue out of the way. So we should be bolding that last for sure.

I don't know what a Tarpon Springs is.

I'll assume it's some place in Florida that I don't want to be.

(I guess "that I don't want to be" goes without saying after saying Florida)

It has a cross on its flag and it's in the British Commonwealth.

I think I'm still on Greece/Cross/Crown, but I'll admit pole has merits too.

You think my reasoning is strong enough?

I’m good with your reasoning.

Tarpon Springs is a huge Greek community on the central gulf coast of FL, just north of where I grew up. It’s actually a pretty cool town. Great food, sponge docks (it’s like the sea sponge fishing capital of the world or something), and each year on Epiphany (celebrating Christ being king) they have a thing where teens dive for a cross thrown into a lake and whoever catches it is blessed by the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Russia - 6

so cricket is out

Cloak - yes, it's cold so they wear these
Cold - yes, it's cold (though I thought maybe this was their n-1, that won't stop me from guessing this here); plus Cold War, tho that was with USSR, not Russia
Cricket - definitely out
Current - current events, could be
Europe - definitely
Fork - not really
Model - lots of models from Russia; seems good
Pole - Poland borders Russia; stretchy maybe
Pound - nah
Star - USSR flag has star on it, but clue was Russia; not sure if Russia instead of USSR eliminates star or if this were overlooked
Stock - nah
Table - nah
Wall - don't think so; Berlin Wall is 2-step Cold War connection

4 locks I think:
cloak
cold
Europe
model

then maybes:
current
pole
star

Yeah

Europe
It's cold in Russia
Russian model
Russians wear those massive fur cloak things
Russia are always in the current news

Well we have the same top 5 so that's a good start lol

Yeah think the last one is between Pole and Star, leaning Star as clue is Russia not Russian

yeah; I would say trust spymaster, but Russia/USSR are synonymous for a lot of people and USSR may bring in wall since it evokes cold war and the Berlin Wall more than Russia does

and not saying Russian when the other words hit Russian hard like Russia makes me think pole isn't ours

Yeah, could be Wall but I like star a bit more - also has the space connection with space race/Sputnik etc

yeah i'm good with those 5 and star
