Spelling 5.29.9

Laodicean-lukewarm or indifferent, particularly in matters of politics or religion. Not that much of a challenge word, but I'm guessing they have the entire dictionary memorized. Maecenas-a generous patron of the arts, was the elimination word for the runner up. Congratulations to the finalists. It appears a successful run here, along with the geography bee, is a precurser for getting on JEOPARDY!
