all i know is that i could never do what she did.


When I was around 16 or so one my best friends worked a little mom and pop movie rental place. He got to watch Wheel of Fortune every single day while working, and then one weekend we rented a video game version mostly due to a lack of anything else looking good.

We were sitting around the house with his whole family playing the game, a puzzle game up and the category was Artist and Title, without a single letter up there, and with looking at the board for about 5 seconds he yelled out "Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You". Everyone in the room was in complete shock. Still can't believe he got that so quickly.

I solved one as a kid with no letters or even without the type of puzzle being named yet, but it was pretty obvious.

The hyphen is to separate the words since I can't add an extra space here.

That one is large and very impressive just for that reason alone.

I don't really see what the big deal is...not to take away any credit from the lady, but the apostrophe gives a giant clue. Pretty much gives away the first three words IMO....

"I've got a" is a pretty good start....the rest probably just popped into her head.

I paused the video so I could see the puzzle and I got it too. The first 3 words help you a lot.

I once solved one that was person.

I got to be honest with you. Without knowing the category I am stumped by this one.

Washington, DC?

Yep. The DC part is what made it so easy. :) I was pretty good at geography as a kid.
