For Mr. Hawkins I own very few Sim-Can, and this is just not my area of interest. Mr. Beauchamp's elimination process was correct and it appears that the same holds for Mr. Barkalow. Even Mr. Graff's shot in the dark worked. The Bonfire and Dinner went very well and today is just us 2

3Dan Hawkins9/15/2024 6:59:51 AMIt has been quite a struggle for me lately to monitor this thrilling game of knowledge and speed. Last week, life events once again conspired to prevent me from any opportunity of a top finish. While I can control myself, I cannot control others; thus, I ask: was Calvin right? If so, my sense of struggle is nonsensical as my fate is predetermined. Now, content with that mental reconciliation, I offer my best guess on this week's question.
