Today’s Study Guide ties together NFL jersey rules and modern tight ends, Scottish Gaelic mountain names, the invention of QR codes at Toyota supplier Denso Wave, a cross‑media phrase linking Wicked: For Good and Take That’s “Back for Good,” Mexico’s two short‑lived empires, and the protein‑eating enzyme in fresh pineapple. Travis Kelce, for example, wears #87 as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, one of the positions now allowed to use numbers in the 80s under relaxed NFL numbering rules, making him a perfect clue handle for Question 1.

This Study Guide ties together number theory, revolutionary France, American songbook standards, 1980s film comedy, Horn of Africa geopolitics, climate PR, and fast-food empires. The Year I puzzle hinges on the French Republican calendar (1792–93) and the fact that primes greater than 5 must end in 1, 3, 7, or 9, giving 1793 as the year when Year I ended.(en.wikipedia.org) From Irving Berlin’s 1926 song “Blue Skies” (later covered by Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson) and adopted as a skydivers’ good‑weather greeting, to Chevy Chase’s alias-spinning reporter in Fletch (1985), today’s questions show how trivia often lives at the intersection of pop culture and subculture.(en.wikipedia.org) ...

The Eagles–Packers opener in São Paulo marked the league’s first regular‑season game in South America, expanding a global push that had already taken games to London and Germany.(packers.com) At the other end of the cultural spectrum, Peppa Pig’s four‑year‑old heroine and her love of “jumping in muddy puddles” have become so ubiquitous that lockdown binge‑watching reportedly nudged some American preschoolers toward British pronunciations like “mummy” and “holiday.”(storymuseum.org.uk) ...
