The one that *may* have been the mid-round landmine was the one that asked something like "This 1948 Woody Herman song was also the signature solo of Stan Getz" (EARLY AUTUMN). Getz is (somewhat unfortunately) best known for his collaborations with Astrud and Joao Gilberto, but his days with The Herd were most influential on his prolific career.
Yeah, that one that sent scores on a downward spiral. Game was pretty challenging even before that round, but throwing a wicked curveball on q4 made them that much lower, save for what looks like a rogue board at a few locations that was able to hurdle it. It didn't help that Autumn Leaves was the other choice since Mercer wrote both that song and Early Autumn (obviously with Herman on the latter). Definitely a fair game question, just a wicked one.
