Arachnophobia - 6

to start

Agree with those three.

I may have seen that movie when it came out on VHS a long, long time ago. But I don't remember anything about it.

Was there a spider Queen in it? Movies do that sort of thing.

I don't remember much other than Jeff Daniels is in it and there is a scene where he is tracking down some spider and trying to use some improvised torch on it. I bet Queen is a safe bet for queen spider

I could see boot and log

Bump

I'm good with that, I think I like fighter as a backup as the movie is spent fighting spiders? Boot got stronger for me in that you can crush spiders with your boot, but also finding a spider in a boot or shoe is probably a HUGE fear for people with arachnophobia.

Queen

arac was a 6 clue

Thanks. Fixed.

Shocked that queen wasn’t yours, but at least it wasn’t a baddie so no loleb at this time

Boot/Hood?

I cant remember if he was a southpaw or if he could switch, but that jumped out at me so I figured I’d mention it. Certainly a stretch and easy to miss (if it’s even a thing)

Agree on the first 4. I'd go boot over hood, only because he definitely wore boots, and I don't recall if he wore a hood to the ring, but that would be my backup

I think he was a conventional fighter, who could likely switch, but I'd say that's a very unlikely answer

Oh, and it’s technically n-1, but we agreed just before this game started that we weren’t going that route when we don’t have any clear backups.

baklava - unlimited

Uh oh. Uh. Food words?

Apple
Ice cream
Turkey

Is it served in a mug?

Not served in a mug. It's basically phyllo sheets with nuts and honey. It's crispy, and like many Turkish deserts, somewhat savory with mild sweetness.

Let's say it is those three words...that leaves one word left. Standard n-1 rules would say Boot is not ours, and that all 4 words are not for Baklava. So unlimited here could simply mean, 3 words and some other word. I don't think we can be confident that next in line is our word more than we can say it's some random word and he's just trying to stop us from guessing Boot.

I feel like it could also mean, the rest of our list that gets 6 for aracnophobia + remaining list, so let's look at both of those.

Let's say these are our words, and try to find the 6 for Arachnophobia:

Film - a
Web - a
Torch - a
Genius - a?
Apple - b
Ice cream - b
Turkey - b
Log - a

I don't think the 6th arachnophobia word is an overlap with Baklava...

or is it:

Film - a
Web - a
Torch - a
Genius - a?
Log - a
Fighter - a
Back -- dont like it
Turkey - b

Personally, I think it's this:

Film - a
Web - a
Torch - a
Genius - a?
Log - a
Fighter - a
Ice Cream - b
Turkey - b

I'm loosely connecting Genius, as films are an art form, and a creative mind that creates films could lead to Genius. He can't clue Baklava - 2, because we likely lose.

Wow, long post. Never voting TBob in F3.


Yeah when I saw Genius I assumed it was related to the movie.

We're clearly doing.

Turkey
Ice Cream

Beyond that.... I don't know where to go. Note that fighter is already red. Does that change your calculation?

Whoops, that's a terrible oversight, my bad. Let me look again and I'll post this evening

Ok, boot could still be good actually.
