Question for the guessers, and @schvice in particular:

Do you think this MJM would've been easier or harder had it just been the Bowie (My Soul) clip (i.e. if this were a classic format MJM with the first clip alone)?

My intuition is that it would've been harder, as getting the other two tipped @schvice off to Richmond shows, which led him to abandon My Soul and focus on the ten or so shows from Richmond(s). If "harder" is the consensus answer, acknowledging of course that this isn't the case for every MJM, I think this week's is a big success for the triple MJM format. Because we will have effectively gotten rid of the drive-by first hour winners, turned folks on to three jams instead of one, but haven't necessarily made it more difficult to solve (though it takes more time). Thoughts? I guess I'm just worried that the new format might be turning off too many folks (and the ten hours of radio silence only fed my paranoia!).
