Ep 158: Richard Hartley, Tim Shiel (August 17, 2016; originally aired March 9, 2011)

Rounds: Here.

Disclaimer: I watched this episode when it first aired, and although I did not recall any of it I cannot rule out memory being a factor.

Just the summary for now, as I'm still very behind.

Richard: [invalid -- PAINTS]
Tim: STAMP
Me: IMPASTO

Round 3: Target 461 from 6 8 5 7 7 9

I made a calculation error; easily fixed, but time had run out before I could do so.

Me: [no answer]
Lily: 461

Scores: Richard 11, Tim 6 (11), me 13


First break: ORBIT HIP ("Yes to start, but finally: no")

The "yes" part is the PRO of PROHIBIT.

David's talk is about three words that "name things that you never knew had a name": tittle, gnomon, and diadochokinesis.

Second break: CABS FOIL ("More than one way to look at the world")

Because BIFOCALS have two different focal lengths.
