Does everyone realize that WEEK 2 clues are due on 10/17? get your answers locked in!!!

under the wheel that shows the clues it says in really small lettering that week 2 due 10/17 and it states in the rules after the first weeks clues you only have one week to lock in your answers...
 
Both me and my husband are playing and he got 33 points and I got 29 and we both had the same answers, so I just decided to have fun with this since it doesn't look like I will be getting my new computer this way. Thanks to all who helped by sharing answers for week 2. It probably confused me more than anything but thanks anyway.
 
I am struggling with 3 ways of answering number 8 The Taos Hum, The "Taos Hum" and Taos Hum.Anyone?
Leaning towards taking the quotes away which would leave only 2 ways to answer.

I couldn't pick either... I finally went thru a bunch of sites checking how it was listed. The only time it is put as The Taos Hum is at the begining of a sentence.. so I dropped that choice. For the other 2 I used another "thing" as an example. The Belle of Louisville .. a steamboat. It is in articles as the Belle most of the time, but it's name is Belle of Louisville. There is no the used, figured it is just reference punctuation ?? So I put the answer as Taos Hum .... no the in it. Keep in mind I only got 56 points so there is a good chance I am wrong.. lol

For those still not sure on the bridge question.. esp. the pic. of the flag... doing a google search of images.. you'll see the Royal Gorge Bridge on the Arkansas River has flags attached to it's suspention cables.. just like the flag in the pic. is attached to a susp. cable.

Ive already submited my answers so tooo late to change for me but could it be possible that on the pictures of the bridges the arkansas river could be of two answers cause I found a pic of A on the arkansas river and now the pic of the flag is also on the arkansas river couuld Marlboro be trying to fool us by giving 4 differnt answers to throw us off?
 
That one is an old train bridge, which most look very similar.. the thing is you have to look very close at the parts like the operator tower to compare shape & color.. those parts do match a train bridge on the Missouri..
But yes that is a possibility.. there was nothing I saw on the question that said the answers were one bridge per river .. shrug .. I used image searches of bridge type instead of using the river names.. then double checked the ones I couldn't find that way by searching the bridge names others here listed. The only one I couldn't find was B and I used every search phrase I could think of..
