Round 3 begins Monday.

Looks like I'm going to have to be more selective of my "positive" clues. You guys are on the ball.

D*mn! First time someone guesses the year, and he's correct.

That last clue sealed it. What got me was that I used to watch the movie Miracle a lot and that helped me figure it out.

When I saw you won this morning with 1980, I knew it was related to that game before seeing the clue.

I still don't understand any of the clues in this round except the first one

Most of them can be Googled in minutes but some are worded cleverly as to make you think about it. I usually know right away or have no idea when I read them.

And can Vapor confirm what the Toy Soldiers clue was about?

Martika - Toy Soldiers

Hence the "sounds" of Toy Soldiers playing.

For some reason when I googled ruby ridge before, I got nothing relevant. Mostly stuff about the Ruby on Rails programming language. Now when I try, the reference is obvious. Maybe I had used quote marks, I don't know. But I still don't know what the 20 yanks and russkies is about. Sports?
