Does True North know? Find out here! - Page 4 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

I mean, I'm in the minority on this, so take it with a grain of salt. And it's not a bad book. It just made me feel underwhelmed. She's great at writing characters, I definitely give her that. Still, my overall feeling when I finished the book was "pretty good, I guess" followed by internalizing it and having my opinion gradually lower as I did.

But yeah, seems like most people love it, so maybe you will too. And until your post above, I didn't know it was getting an adaptation...I'm actually inclined to give that a look when it happens.

It is kinda gross. Think Pittsburgh before the revitalization.

Weird thing is that my sister and BIL live in Burlington, which is right next door, and it’s quite a nice little city. Hamilton is...not.

Lol. I’ve come across him in other stuff (The Golden Child comes to mind), but yeah, I saw that movie three or four times.

Let's do the next batch. This one is about stuff that happened in 2019.

16) Who defeated James Holzhauer on the June 3 episode of Jeopardy? (Both first and last names must be spelled correctly)

I'm certain TN watched it, but her last name is a little difficult to spell.

TN says: Emma Boettcher. Still pisses me off that I got spoiled for this.

The ruling: TN knows!

17) Name the locations of the first two NXT UK Takeover specials. The first happened in January. The second is scheduled for August.

The logo for the one in August is pretty badass.

TN says: I read about the first one, I believe it was in Blackpool. No idea about the second, I’ll guess Manchester.

The first one was indeed in Blackpool. Unfortunately, as you can see above, the second one is not in Manchester.

The ruling: TN doesn't know!

18) What country's parliament voted to move its capital to a more central location in January?

Here is the most recent CIA World Factbook map. It needs some updating.

TN says: No idea here either. Sri Lanka?

This was one of two questions where only one person bet against TN. It paid off.

The ruling: TN doesn't know!

19) What country was the first to ground the Boeing 737 MAX airplane?

The country that did had a very good reason to do so.

I think this is the only other question with just a single guess of no. It didn't pay off this time.

20) What two national ice hockey teams were relegated from the Championship Division following the most recent IIHF World Championships in Slovakia?

Congrats to France, who had a 3 goal lead in their de facto relegation match and managed to lose to Great Britain.

TN says: I’m pretty sure one of these is wrong, but I’ll go with France and Italy.

As stated earlier, France was correct. Italy and Austria had their own relegation battle in the other group. Unfortunately for TN, Italy won the shootout.

The ruling: TN doesn't know!

Here come the languages from the Wikipedia page for Canada. All TN has to do is identify the language. Simple, right?

21) Kanada'da zaman genellikle soğuk ya da çok ciddi kış soğuklarıyla geçer, ancak Kanada'nın güneyindeki alanlar yaz aylarında bir o kadar da sıcak olur

I like how my browser spellcheck flagged "yaz" but had no problem with "soğuklarıyla"

TN says: Looks like Turkish, but could really be any Eastern European language.

The way I can tell Turkish apart is that letter that looks like an "i" without the tittle. I don't know how that letter is pronounced, but I've only ever seen it in Turkish.

The ruling: TN knows!

22) Kanado estas necentra federacio de 10 provincoj kaj 3 teritorioj kuniĝintaj laŭ proceso nomata konfederiĝo.

It kinda looks like a Romance language but also vaguely Slavic. Who invented this thing?
