- Tabitha, a gallery assistant from New York, loves archery;
- Jack, a college student from Alabama, switches between racing as ketchup and mustard; and
- Jason, a math teacher from New Mexico, was caught using bad words in computer programming. Jason is a ten-day champ with winnings of $273,843.
Jason had $10,000 at the first commercial break and went on to crush the competition, entering FJ with $44,400 vs. $5,600 for Jack and $1,400 for Tabitha.
DD1, $1,000 - MOTTOES - The New York Times has used this 7-word motto on its front page since 1897 (Jason won $1,800 on a true DD.)
DD2, $1,600 - SURNAMES - In Vietnam, an estimated 40% of the population answer to this last name, the country's most popular (Jason won $6,000 from his score of $16,000.)
DD3, $2,000 - SAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - In 1816 Lord Byron penned a "Song for" these loom-smashing rioters who were being displaced by new technology (Jason won $8,000 from his total of $28,800.)
FJ - PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES - This is the most recent presidential election year when both major presidential candidates were residents of the same state
Jason and Tabitha were correct on FJ, with Jason adding $14,000 to win with $58,400 (his highest score so far) for an 11-day total of $332,243.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the ancient Greek who said "The unexamined life is not worth living" was Socrates.
This day in Trebekistan: Alex offered his Hitchcock impression and was immediately turned off from archery when he was told it involves doing exercise.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is "All the news that's fit to print"?
DD2 - What is Nguyen?
DD3 - What are Luddites?
FJ - What is 2016?
