    Consistent looksee, strictly scoring woud be 1/3.

    Generous is 2/3, one is just a general grouping word, not the actual creature.

    Yes, as long as it’s not a translation. I have the gist of it, and it doesn’t help :D

    At this stage I'm surprised at all of you. It might help to ponder Trump v. Biden.

    P.S.

    Which U.S. state's great seal features the following motto: "Si Quæris Peninsulam Amœnam Circumspice Armiger"?

    Final clue = translation: "If you seek a pleasant peninsula look around you, squire."

    The answer is Michigan, not one but two peninsulas. The motto is a play on Christopher Wren's words in St. Paul's Cathedral. I thought mentioning peninsula would be too obvious. And I thought saying Trump v. Biden would have focused you on battleground states.

    So here's a nice easy one. Ten U.S. vice-presidents have subsequently been elected president, but only two of them after a break from public office having vacated the vice-presidency. Joe Biden is one. Name the other.
