NELLIE BLY

HS:

Jennifer: $2,200/Jeanne: $2K/Lisa: -$200

One of the answers dealing w/ Nellie Bly has the DD; it’s the $600 one that has it for Jennifer (eight g-bars), followed by Jeanne ($1200) & Lisa ($1K). Another right response by the champiene will move her to $10K.

While famously going around the world in 723 days Bly met this author who told her how her route differed from Phileas Fogg’s.

“Who is Jules Verne?”- sounds correct to us. She sweeps that category to finish this rd. w/ $11,800.

MATTER

Lisa ($2200) denies Jennifer ($13K) one of two DDs when she requests the $1200 Place Name Etymology; Jeanne’s in last for $1600.

From Indo-Iranian for “place” these four letters at the end of a place name mean “land of”.

“What is stan?”…Lisa’s doubled up. And By Pope-Ular Demand from Jennifer ($18,200) DD #2’s here in its $2K spot; Jeanne’s ($4800) in 2nd by a mere $400. Jennifer opts for the face value.

On Jan. 25, 1959 John XXIII called for this, the 21st Ecumenical Council of the Church, but it sounded more like the 1st sequel.

“What is Vatican Two?”…right she is.
