Can't believe I guessed Mussolini right. Had no idea if he was married ever, never mind twice.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Think I only got 3 wrong there... EDIT: Yep

Thought Burj Khalifa was the tallest, forgot about Honolulu, and I fecked up the Hitchcock question completely (thought it was total of both actors... and I thought that total was 9 anyway)

cee_jay

My use of the same number has worked again, and got the Police Academy right. Failed for the Hitchcock one though!

Its concerning that despite having more points, I'm still not above 2D on the table... I feel this is a spoiler for the final round...
