DD2 - $1,600 - BARRIERS IN LIFE - The Lex Cornelia de Maiestate said no general could lead an army out of his province, so the 49 B.C. crossing of this stream...huge (Amy's score increased by $2,000 to $20,200 vs. $4,000 for Gordon.)
DD3 - $2,000 - 19th CENTURY STUFF - In 1899 the Queen laid the cornerstone for this London arts & design museum (Chi-Nhan lost $4,400 on a true DD.)

Odds and Ends
This day in shilling: Kudos to the contestants for getting rid of the AMA category immediately, so we wouldn't have to be bothered by it for the rest of the round.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is solar? DD2 - What is the Rubicon? DD3 - What is the Victoria and Albert Museum? FJ - Who were Harper Lee and Truman Capote?
