The game continues...

Ok ok, I'm very happy with this one.

What does this newspaper headline refer to? (It's something that you would have heard about in the states and not some obscure French political reference.)

"Coup de baguette final"

Cut the last baguette! In France, when you die you are said to have "cut your last baguette."

It refers to the last Harry Potter book, but Beth doesn't win because she cheated. She didn't guess. She's actually read Harry Potter in French and therefore the odd use of "baguette" was not so odd to her. The article is pretty amusing to me. Harry Potter had its French midnight release this weekend...

Heehee, I don't think I get to play any more...and I'd forgotten that I'd read HP in French, because I'd learned "magic wand" independently of that, but you are right.
