I had no delusion that I was the first! But sometimes, things just fall into place with very little to go on. I've freaked out a few of my relatives by walking into a room where they were watching the TV game show, saw the topic and the blank spaces, and knew the answer before a single letter was up. It's a pattern-seeking thing -- that and being familiar with a lot of clichés.
