WASHINGTON is the obvious one, meaning the city and not the man. It is loaded with bureaucrats. But fromt there I'm not sure...

EUROPE is also laden with bureaucrats
as is ENGLAND...but there are easier ways to connect those with WASHINGTON.

Bureaucrats certainly waste people's TIME.

A CASINO, an AMBULANCE, and a JET would all have bureaucrats overseeing them, but that feels like a stretch.

If I were picking on my own I would say WASHINGTON and TIME, but I'm hoping someone comes up with a better argument for an alternative second choice.

I like this logic. If everyone else favors EUROPE, I support pointing to it. If it's a split decision, then we can discuss further.

Where is ipecac from? Because to a European Europe seems the obvious answer when people talk about beaurocrats. If you think Washington is bad then be thankful you are not in the EU!

I would say EUROPE and WASHINGTON

EUROPE for sure. Europe is full of bureaucrats (I'm from Finland). ENGLAND sounds possible as well (see Europe), also WASHINGTON. All of these areas have a lof of buraucracy. Other words seem like a stretch to me (like TIME for example). And if it was like TIME + WASHINGTON I don't think the clue would be bureaucrats 2, it would be just too risky for us to guess other words in my opinion.

If it was Europe + England it could be easily clued with "Britain 2". If it were England + Washington, hmm... that'd be hard to connect. Protestantism 2?

Anyway, I'd say EUROPE -> WASHINGTON.

PAN is obvious.

TIME could be it, Cooking = Pan + Time.
JET of flame on a stove.
MATCH to light a stove or grill.
But none of these are particularly strong connections, hard to pick one.

I'd feel best using our 3 guesses here on Pan + Jupiter + Olympus, and put off the second Cooking word until later.

I'm pretty confident about Pan and Match. Going back to our first clue, maybe Pan and Jupiter were supposed to be the clear targets, with Temple beating Olympus for third?

seems like a waste of resources to reclue a word in the second clue. I agree with pan, Jupiter, Olympus

Sure, I can see the case for Time here, and perhaps Pan fitting both clues was just a coincidence. Consider me on board with Pan->Jupiter->Olympus.
