- Sathvik, a medical student from New Hampshire, got up early for Jimmy Carter's Sunday school;
- Shannon, a technical product owner from Virginia, likes crime podcasts; and
- Kevin, a retired IT manager from Ohio, is the czar of the beer drinking league. Kevin is a one-day champ with winnings of $15,600.
Shannon declined to shop for DD3 in the lone remaining untouched category, leaving it for Sathvik to find and protect his lead going into FJ with $15,400 vs. $13,600 for Shannon and $9,600 for Kevin.
DD1, $1,000 - HISTORICAL HODGEPODGE - A 1945 telegram from Churchill to Truman mentioned Soviet power and "The descent of" this "between us and everything to the eastward" (Shannon lost $1,000 from her score of $3,000.)
DD2, $1,600 - 11-LETTER WORDS - Someone who dislikes people in general, or the title subject of a 1666 play by Moliere (Sathvik won $2,000 from his leading total of $11,600 vs. $11,400 for Shannon.)
DD3, $1,200 - CHARACTERS IN "THE AENEID" - Sinon is a Greek who persuades the Trojans to take this object into their city as an offering to the goddess Minerva (Sathvik won $1,000 from his score of $14,400 vs. $12,000 for Shannon.)
FJ - BUSINESS & INDUSTRY - Peaking at 9,000 stores locations in 2004, this chain of stores was down to one in 2019, located in Bend, Oregon
Sathvik and Kevin were correct on FJ, with Sathvik adding $11,801 to win with $27,201.
Triple Stumper of the day: In the "Vo" category, no one knew the two-word parliamentary procedure in which the outcome of determined by relative volume is a voice vote.
That's after our time: The players couldn't guess the Lil 2018 hitmaker of "Uproar" and "Dedicate" as Lil Wayne.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is Iron Curtain?
DD2 - What is misanthrope?
DD3 - What is the Trojan Horse?
