I guess this isn't one of my better questions. Other than Reykjavik, it's the only capital above 60°N. It's not Oslo, and it has nothing to do with Greenland as it is controlled by Denmark. It is a European city

Oslo would have been my first guess, but the only other European countries that are that high are Sweden and Finland. I know Stockholm is lower than Oslo on the map, so by default that leaves Finland. My hope is that Helsinki is its capital because it's the only city I know in Finland.

On the shows Forged in Fire and Forged in Fire Beat the Judges. Which judge won twice as a contestant before becoming a judge on Forged in Fire and also hasn’t lost while competing as a judge on Forged in Fire Beat the Judges?

Is this a trick question? Pat Sajak?


LOL. No it's not and Vanna was not the original card turner. The host went on to m.c. another game show after "Wheel" that involved couples. The original card turner returned to sub for White when she took leave of absense for a short while. OFC

This is in my wheelhouse! Chuck Woollerey and the hostess was Susan Stafford. Merv Griffin wanted to retain Chuck, but sign Vanna to replace Susan Stafford. Chuck Woolerey supported his friend and they were both out

Thst was a very good guess. I think you were thinking about The Newly Wed Game. This host had a game show a few years later. In the 80's. OFC

I was definitely thinking of the Newlywed Game. I don't recall many game shows that featured couples. The only other ones that come to mind are The Dating Game and Love Connection. I think @geddoughton23 has the right answer with ole Chuck.

It's been over 24 hours since a question was asked so here's another: What comes after million, billion and trillion?

Quaddrillion?

P.S. ged, I thought you might find this humorous. The only reason I got Helsinki was I was planning a cruise to see the northern lights. I've discovered my world geography to be woefully lacking. I don't think I'll get to do that cruise for awhile!

That would be Tyra Banks. I do not watch DWTS often. I watch when I visit my sister. I enjoyed the Bindi Irwin season. Tom Bergeron is good. I only saw enough of Top Model to learn that I must smile with my eyes

That's correct! I ask that question to see if @skysdad had heard that Tom and Erin were "let go". You're up!

I'm shocked! I mentioned this to my friend who loves DWTS. She is irate. I assumed that he quit to try something new

Here's a Duke-related question. That's a hint for a tough question. Other than humans, what is the only primate capable of blue eyes?

Before Law & Order: SVU became the longest running live-action prime time series in the U.S. with Season 21, two other series were tied with 20 seasons. One was the original Law & Order. Name the other.
