Congratulations, Mark. Yeah, I knew what an osprey was, and I was hoping someone would put together "seldom was heard a discouraging" BIRD. Because surely with those clues, you would have known it was nest.

[Up4AnythingScorp]

i can't believe i didn't get that.. nipsey was telling me it was "wish," so i wasn't really thinking.. i don't think i'd have solved the problem.. the clues made me think the answer was "chicken."

[Noraa972]

btw, i read on wikipedia that the scores were converted into cash for the actual players, is that true mark?

[Up4AnythingScorp]

NOT true... the only way to make any cash, was to score 1000 points, for which you got $1000. so, i only got prizes..

I grew up with the Cross-wits. It was my favorite Game Show. Great job! This is a more of a behind the scenes question. What are your most vivid memories from the first time you ever walked into the studio. Is there anything that sticks out in your mind?

[Up4AnythingScorp]

i was only 19 at the time.. kinda naive.. there was a lot going on in the studio.. especially with the "stars." it was a bit surreal.. just standing there, taking guesses, being told that they were going to give me prizes for it all..

Nipsey did that b

it about "food not fit to eat without lard fat" on $100K Pyramid in the 80s.

@Up4AnythingScorp As a graduate of the University of North Florida bird would have been my answer...we're the home of the Ospreys

[secondchance1977]

How much did you win in total?

[TonyDuMont]

So the word Soup pertains to Nests because of Birds' Nest Soup...I never heard of that before.

[lobstertexas]

surprising that they couldn't come up with a puzzle where all the words connected.. I don't think I've ever seen two isolated puzzle parts like that on CW

Good job, Mark!
