Gueese for new set:
71. Blue
72. J, we have had that one before, but I also correctly guessed it then because of seeing old documents that had what looked like S instead of the letter it should have been, J
73. 1000 - And I only counted up to 20 before I went much higher, LOL
74. Earth, nah that's not right. Dunno
75. division sign
76. radish
77. -40 (one MUST know this to play trivia on cruise ships)
78. fusion
79. Well, it's got to be the word for wheel in Italian, but I don't actually "know" Italian although I can sort of understand it spoken, especially in train stations, and can almost read it because of having learned French and Spanish. So something like rueda or roue. Mamie, can we have multiple choice for this one?
80. Easy-Bake Oven was just past my childhood age for having one, but kids I babysat for had them, so 1960's. I don't recognize the other two items, unless the Spirograph was an Etch-a-Sketch, but that was likely 1960's as well.
