- Greg, a systems engineer from Washington, D.C., can do a lot of pull-ups;
- Signe, a PhD candidate from Texas, says there's nothing better than being in school; and
- MacKenzie, a program development director from Oklahoma, knows how to defend against the Y2K bug. MacKenzie entered the game as a seven-day champ with winnings of $184,208.
MacKenzie was the only player to do much in DJ, as with the help of DD2 she scored another runaway at $20,600 vs. $6,200 for Greg and $3,000 for Signe.
DD1, $600 - THE EARTH - This is a narrow strip of land connecting 2 larger land areas, like the one connecting North and South America (MacKenzie won $3,200 on a true DD.)
DD2, $2,000 - NAMES OF THE 1920s- These 2 Italian-born men were executed on August 23, 1927, still maintaining their innocence (MacKenzie won $5,000 from her score of $12,000 vs. $6,600 for Greg.)
DD3 - $1,600 - INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES - Air Atlas merged with another carrier to become the royal airline of this country (With two other clues on the board, Signe lost $2,000 from her total of $5,000 vs. $20,600 for MacKenzie.)
FJ - SCIENCE WORDS - In 1611 Kepler used this word from the Latin for "attendant" to describe the discoveries of Galileo
Only MacKenzie was correct on FJ (albeit with another misspelling that amused Alex). The champ bet $0 and is now an eight-game winner with $204,808.
That's before our time: No one knew the "It" girl from the silent movie era was Clara Bow.
This day in Trebekistan: I've heard a number of terms used to describe the helmet-swinging incident in the Browns-Steelers game, but Alex is the first one I've heard call it a "foofaraw".
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is isthmus?
DD2 - Who were Sacco and Vanzetti?
DD3 - What is Morocco?
FJ - What is satellite? (MacKenzie wrote "satalite".)
