Jeopardy! recap for Fri., May 29 - Teachers Tournament day five

Here are today's contestants for day five of the Teachers Tournament, in which $14,001 and $16,402 are the scores to beat for the last two wild card spots:

- Jong Ho, high school math from Illinois, brought a student to tears with the Boston skyline;
- Anne, high school English from Maryland, met her husband teaching in England; and
- Allison, 7th grade physics from Florida, uses personal analogies in class.


Jong Ho scored on both of his DD opportunities and was never seriously threatened, entering FJ with $25,512. Anne had $13,800 and was in position to advance if correct on FJ with virtually any kind of wager, while Allison was out of the running at $3,200.

DD1, $1,000 - LAB PARTNERS - In 1942 at the University of Chicago, Leo Szilard helped this Italian create the first nuclear reactor (Jong Ho was $3,456 from his leading score of $6,600.)

DD2, $1,200 - SAILING THE 5 SEAS - The Germans call this bordering sea Ostsee; the Swedes, Ostersjon (Allison lost $2,000 from her total of $2,800.)

DD3, $1,200 - DESCRIBING THE ADJECTIVE - Desolate & raw, or a title description of a novel "House" with Ada Clarek (Jong Ho won $3,456 from his score of $20,456.)

FJ - PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES & MUSEUMS - Of the 15 U.S. presidential libraries or museums, 3 are in this state, more than any other

Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Jong Ho lost $2,142 to advance with $23,370. Anne dropped by $2,201 to end at $11,599, short of the $14,001 wild card cutoff.

Triple Stumper of the day: If a clue is about a dueling Russian writer, it's gotta be Alexander Pushkin.

This day in Trebekistan: Alex apologized for waking up Jong Ho, who appeared to be dozing off during the introductions.

DD2 - What is the Baltic Sea?
DD3 - What is bleak?
