    I think being as knowledgeable as Ryan comes at the cost that all questions are now medium difficulty to answer due to them all taking up the same space in his brain. I swear to god some of these are so simple and take him 20+ seconds to figure out and then he can just whip out S Y N T H E S I Z E D like its no big deal.

      the theme was a double entendre. "friends to the end" means any synonym for friend is shifted to the end of the word, i.e. "chumpchange" becomes "pchangeCHUM", paleontologist becomes "eontologistPAL" "budgethotel" becomes "gethotelBUD", etc
