Your call; I think it will be tight either way.

So that's 14 or 15 names. Need 7 or 8 more. A few more not on my original list:

Anthony
Charles
Thomas/Tom
William

William seems like a lock to me.

I'm good with those (Thomas, not Tom)

Sorry I haven't had much of a chance to think about this; do your best with it and fire away.

Full list is forthcoming. I'll not leave you in suspense though and say that George is a miss. I think you would have been safe with Adam, Joshua, Justin, and Scott, to name a few.

That's what I was worried about, so many names that would look like easy gets that had just fallen off by the 80s.

True North leads two to nothing and hasn't given up a point in either of their matches so far. This could be a most impressive performance, indeed. But it ain't over yet....

Question 3

What are the 20 biggest hotels in Vegas, as measured by total number of guest rooms?

"Vegas" includes all of the greater Las Vegas area.

As a rule of thumb, each hotel should have a separate check-in desk for determining the total, so the 'Bolt Hotel' is a separate entity from the 'Bolt Towers', which are the exclusive VIP suites on the top floor of the same building. And the '2112 ' is a different hotel altogether, even though you can get from the 'Bolt' to the '2112' without ever stepping outside. ('Bolt' and '2112' have separate pools and each have their own casino, but there is a common parking garage and the two hotels practically look like twins when you view them from the distance.)

On the other hand, 'Hotel 2+2', across the street, is a single entity even though it has 3 different towers.

You'll have to put them in order to truly impress me after True North's Tom Hanks exhibition.

The 20 I sent were in no order, except the ones I felt least confident about were at the bottom.

& I am never going to be True North impressive.
