I question the photo they used for the clue for “washout”. The picture looked like the road was simply covered with high water—when the water recedes, the road will likely be fine. I’m used to the term “washout” meaning that the road, or at least part of it, was actually removed by the flow of water. So this photo would not be a washout. What are your thought?
@ Bill
Have to agree. “Washout” rather refers to permanent. When somebody “rings the bell” at training camp, he washes out of the Marines for good e.g !! Was not the first time that a clue was sort of ambiguous though, wouldn’t you say??
Oh, definitely. And we have places like this to discuss such situations. 😉
It’s a wash…
Didn’t Rebecca say she wanted to be a museum curator? Talk about a final right in her wheelhouse! Actually though, when you think museum in France, don’t you think about a half-second later==Louvre!! Maybe the other two over-thought it…
Why did Princeton contestant wear a University if Chicago sweatshirt instead of a Princeton sweatshirt?
Because while he was from Princeton NJ, he is a student at the University of Chicago.
