Ryan: $2,600/Holly: $1,400/Sarah: $2,400

A late TDD finding by Ryan ($4600) for the $800 clue in Visit a National Park; he’s $200 behind each woman.

In 2019 vandalism during the govt. shutdown damaged many of these trees in their Mojave National Park.

“What are Joshua trees?”…success as the Beeps of Time go off (so the $200 clues for that & Every Pitcher Tells a Story go by the wayside).

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $600 (A Past-iche)
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $600 (A La What?)

For the 2nd rd. in a row Ryan ($10,800) hits a DD in the penultimate clue for a category (the $1600 Fictional Language in this case); Holly’s in 2nd w/ $5600 but only by $400 over Sarah. Six grand wagered here by this gentleman.

Mangani, language of the apes

“Who is (Edgar Rice) Burroughs?”…eek in a good way. Sarah ($7200) captures a TDD by meeting the $1600 Mammal; Holly’s in last w/ $6800 & Ryan’s all the way up to $25,200.

More than half the tigers left in the world are this subspecies from India.

“Uh, what are Bengal tigers?”…yeah. Time’s up on these:
