Early on in the Pod of Dolphins round, with 3 or 4 answers in hand, I pointed out that each of the answers was the same length, and had one ‘I’ in a unique position – could this be an “iPod” of Dolphins? So someone else picked up this idea, and started playing with the answers. With only 3 or 4 out of 9 answers, there were way too many possibilities to be sure of anything, but our intrepid meta-solver reported that he had found something. “If you arrange the answers by the position of the 'I’ and read up the other diagonal, you can spell an upgrade that is definitely thematic.”

“What is it?”

“CODPIECES”

We didn’t call that one in. I hope.
