[Azoth]

Point to GOLD

I still feel STADIUM next is safer, but if the team prefers WASHINGTON so be it.

[T-hawk]

GOLD is red

[pindicator]

Washington guys. T-Hawk is American

[shallow_thought]

I like Pindicator's conviction, but perhaps STADIUM is lower risk? That is, I like the logic leading to WASHINGTON but _if_ T-Hawk is an urban east-coaster, WASHINGTON could be anything, while STADIUM should be grey at worst.

I'm with Azoth. Try STADIUM with WASHINGTON as a +1 next round. Which I think leaves us in a deadlock . (I'm assuming that Sunrise swapped Blue and Red at the start of a new game BTW).

T-Hawk lives in New Jersey.

shallow, apologies if I was unclear or made a typo. I think Washington is the much riskier word. I think the expected value of guessing it may be higher but the variance is worse since I would be very surprised if Stadium was overlooked and was Blue.

I think I was confused by the combination of "WASHINGTON could be blue" followed by "GOLD next and then WASHINGTON".

It's been a day, and three of us are on record as thinking that WASHINGTON is more likely than STADIUM to be BLUE/BLACK. It's early days, so we can keep it as a clear plus one.

So (with apologies to Pindicator)

Point to STADIUM
Pass

[BRickAstley]

Stadium is Red

Blue is up.

Autopsy 6

[DaveV]

DISEASE	DICE	HORSESHOE	LAB	ARM
TAIL	RING	BRIDGE	MOUSE	TELESCOPE
DATE	WAKE	PLATE	EYE	GENIUS
DIAMOND	POINT	KING	ROOT	STADIUM
WASHINGTON	SPY	GOLD	KNIFE	CELL

An autopsy might try to determine which DISEASE killed someone.
A KNIFE is a useful tool.
You might send some samples to the LAB.
You could get down to the CELL level.
A WAKE might follow the autopsy.
You might examine an EYE or ARM.
Coroners on TV shows are usually GENIUSes.
You could autopsy a MOUSE after a science experiment.
Looking for the ROOT cause of death?
You might have to work around the PLATE in someone's skull (or set things down on a PLATE while you're working?).

I'm going to go with KNIFE, LAB, DISEASE, CELL, EYE, ARM.

[sunrise089]

@shallow - yeah, I see how that was unclear. I was just trying, contra my own lean, to defer to pindicator since he felt pretty strong on his pick.

[Lewwyn]

KNIFE clearly
DISEASE yes
LAB yup

CELL possibly
ROOT cause of death
EYEs sometimes help with cause of death

ARM is part of the body
