Miscellany:
Alex added that the person in the clue goes by 2 names. Is it really sufficient to just say “Paul?”
Considering the other name would be “Saul (of Tarsus)”, yes, I believe “Paul” would be sufficient.

Thank you! (I read the wrong number off my sheet.)
Jessica seems to be a very strong competitor, first time I’ve seen a contestant take an entire category in a while. Stats kept on that or no?
