Too late to play up here in Alaska but will go with this for 52:
52. retrieving
We won trivia today (on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam cruise ship) with three new partners who were three generations of Canadian women, who didn't know a lot of trivia, but we ALWAYS want to play with partners because somebody will know something we don't. And the middle one knew mojito when Bigdog wanted to go with mint julep, and we all overruled him, giving us a crucial point for a win!
