Erik had a $1,200 beginning just as he wrapped up Hearing w/ the DD; his challengers each had $400. Erik wagered 2/3 his bank.

This 10-letter type of hearing figures out whether someone has the mental capacity to stand trial.

"What is competence?"...correct for a new total of $2K. He had $2,800 as they took a break, but he only led Keith by $200 at that time. No time for the $600 Site, but Keith was in Lock Game Territory at $9,400 & had a $7K lead over Erik.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,600
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1K
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $2,600

A "HA"!

Sarah selected the $1,600 Books & Authors screen, which held a DD, & then had $2,800; Erik was up to $4,400 & Keith was again in LGT w/ $14,200. She went for two grand.

The title of this E.M. Forster novel refers to a country house, not to someone's death.

She blanked & back to $800 she went; it was Howard's End. Towards round's end, Keith picked off a DD in the center of One Man, One Boat & was still sitting pretty w/ $16,200. This was also made a $2K clue:

Edward Miles took the short way around, sailing solo through this canal completed in 1869.

"What is the...Suez Canal?"...yup indeed. Time expired on the first two clues in that category, plus the last one on Euro Coins.
