Spike #30

Just faiton now, still five clues in the running.

Sorry to keep you all waiting, busy day in the office (son's bedroom)

Spike #30 please

Phew! We have a clear winner. With one vote each we have paul @9, fiery @11, and spike @42; with two votes, mathprof @12, rossim @4, fiery @36, and spike @31/33; with four votes, spike @30 with:

Force winter wheat to germinate without nitrogen (10)

Note that spike really nailed it this week with seven out of fifteen votes.

I was surprised that there was only one reference to the scandal, from mathprof (I call my document shredder the Hillary).

The prize:

I recently mentioned to dorrien how much my wife and I enjoyed hiking along some of the rivers that flow into Lake Superior, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, like the Black River (this one) and the Presque Isle- so many beautiful falls there! Quite the joyride, although you might want to turn the “music” off.

Thanks to all for some innovative clue-writing and nifty touches, like bigbad's misdirecting rafters.

Well deserved Spike.
Thank you KT17 and Spike for your votes and Chris, Jono, Paul and Dorrien for your likes. I appreciate them all.
Thanks for hosting Aristo. I expect you were glad not to have a decider.

Congrats spike2 - nice to pick a winner.
Thanks aristo, and for the clip - some of that was a bit extreme!
btw aristo, what scandal?

Very well done Spike, congrats and thanks Aristo for hosting and the clip. I had to google the Whitewater controversy reference, maybe it didn’t make headlines over here or I just missed it at the time

OK, I followed jono's path and Googled. Never featured over here, as far as I remember.

Well done Spike2 - thanks Aristo !

Congrats Spike and thank you Aristo for the good organisation and the terrifying clip!


(Reminds me of when Mrs KT and I were in BC a few years ago and hiked out following signs to the waterfall that was 'wider than Niagara' - and quite a hike it was.

What the signs failed to say was that the falls were only a foot tall!)
