Foosball's right on #11, Harry gets #13; try again for #14.

#14 John Clayton, Clayton Richard, Richard Bartell

Wow, LoveItHateIt. You dug deep. Since all three are possible, I'll give you a 2-point bonus score. However, it's not what I was looking for.

Keep in mind, I'm not going to use anyone who doesn't have a wikipedia page (Clayton Richard doesn't).

November 14, 2007  02:27 PM ET

Wikipedia? icky.

November 14, 2007  02:27 PM ET

I guess by that logic I have to give Harry 2 points too.

November 14, 2007  02:28 PM ET

wave of the future, dude.

November 14, 2007  02:29 PM ET

Sorry about that - wiki next time!

#12 Isaiah Thomas,Thomas Jay and Jay Alford.(Nyuk ! Nyuk ! Nyuk !)

November 14, 2007  02:53 PM ET

If 12 is right, shouldn't the puzzle say "former supreme court justice"?

November 14, 2007  03:35 PM ET

It should since say former... it suggests a current supreme court justice

November 14, 2007  04:04 PM ET

Well, first of all, who's Thomas Jay? I don't see a wikipedia page for a Thomas Jay, so it's definitely not him.

Second, here's how it works: the first clue is intentionally vague. I'll usually specify "former" or "current" in fields such as actor, basketball player, etc. to narrow it down just a little bit for you. Supreme Court Justice, I felt, was specific enough already; if I hypothetically specified "current" you'd have it narrowed down to 9 (and no, that's not saying that it IS current - I'm still leaving that a mystery until tomorrow, unless someone gets it). I will tell you that I didn't go into state supreme courts. It's someone from the US Supreme Court.

Well then is #12 Isaiah Thomas,Thomas Todd and Ohio States Todd Denlinger ?

November 14, 2007  04:45 PM ET
