Mastermind 2017 heat 17 Specialist Subjects

 Heat 17 tomorrow, peeps and these are the specialist subjects:-

Marilyn Monroe

Katherine Mansfield

The Sopranos

Carl Friedrich Gauss

Well, there’s only 1 candidate for my banker subject from this lot. I don’t recall ever reading any of Katherine Mansfield’s poetry or short stories. I’ve never watched The Sopranos, and my general scientific and mathematical ineptitude and ignorance mean points on Carl Friedrich Gauss render points extremely unlikely. All of which leaves Marilyn Monros. I’m certainly not an expert and would be delighted with any points at all. I once read a biography of her. I can’t remember the author, but whoever he was he was so critical that I became convinced that he must have absolutely hated her. There you go.
