Wow - mixed up indeed! Somehow I was able to finish in 45 seconds!

I got it in a bit under two minutes, and I could see someone going sub-one minute, but wow - 16 seconds?

Agree on both accounts! took me 68 seconds, which is a record low for me, and there were no wrong guesses!

Not even vaguely close. (I don't think I could click that fast even if I didn't have to pause to think of the answers.) This does make me wonder if it's faster on a touch device than a computer - I'm guessing it is. Maybe by a lot.

A little under two minutes, but solved in order!

It turns out my TV knowledge ends with The Monkees and Gilligan's Island.

I should have followed my instincts and said, "yes, I'm too nervous."

That was so much fun - great course and location!

Got it in six (which is really good for me) - there was one brand I had never heard of that threw me or I might have got it quicker. (Probably not though.)

Keplers in Menlo Park CA had a nice display, but Carl Hiaasen's is somehow taller (I assume it's because more of yours have been sold).

Finished it in 43 seconds! May be the first sub-minute time for me on any of your puzzles. (And yes, I have been forgetting to play. These posts help remind me.)

If only they'd let you wear your Red Sox cap. (Those were some nasty hard Daily Doubles you had to deal with. Still, you should get invited to an upcoming tournament, so it's probably not over yet.)

This was so funny to watch. After having already done this once before, the dog was not having it.

These have been so fun to watch! A Star Trek question! The Pike Place issue (@moltz.bsky.social may have something to say)! So many Daily Doubles! From my wife; "I like how he looks so comfortable and like he's having fun!" Can't wait to see how tonight goes.

I need to see a definition of "crushing," but it's possible my performance might count, if you squint really hard.

Wow - almost beat two minutes, and even more amazing, no mistakes! That might be a first!

Congrats! (As usual, I did poorly, but got by with only one hint.)

Ha ha ha - that was so bizarre and so Draymond.

That was delightful. Made me respect Lincoln even more.

I got it in sub-2 minutes and with no mistakes (although the last group I only got by default)! I'm astonished - I normally really struggle at these. Fun!

I suspect Brian put you up to this. Cat-a-pult can be a very addictive game!

These are such works of art! Thanks for posting them!

You are too kind! Such huge shoes to fill - I'm in awe of what Sarah and you (and many others) have managed to create here!

Needs a Phish logo on that scarf!

I have a high tolerance for what's shown during commercial breaks on TV (so many accident lawyers!), but as soon as I hear her voice, I lunge for the remote and stop it ASAP. Her whole cosplay game is to make a run in 2028, and it's disturbing to watch. No surprise fraud is involved.

Mistakenly watched this before eating lunch - there is not enough food in this house now. And no pie at all!

OK, that was clever (although I never would have worked out one of the groups - ever).

Hard to choose.

That was great - not sure what rules were broken though! (Never heard of that chef, but I live mostly under a rock.)

Obviously the real test will be how the Giants do playing in them. It will be hard to match the success of the foggy ones (30-16). The glove patch on this new design is pretty nifty - the rest is pretty meh.

It looks ridiculously hard to hit a golf ball like that - very nicely done!

Took me a bit under 90 seconds. Fun though!

Yeah, I'd say bring it on.

Ha ha ha - and I knew about fruit flies only because of one of your earlier puzzles! You are giving me an education!

I had forgotten! (And wow that did not go well, but that's on me - several of those I should have gotten pretty easily.)
