- Dakota, a documentary filmmaker, is a second-generation hand model; and
- Patrick, a project manager, has a lot of DVDs. Patrick is a two-day champ with winnings of $46,501.
Danielle extended her lead on DD2, but then Patrick took over, scoring on DD3 and showing the way into FJ at $17,600 vs. $10,600 for Danielle and $7,800 for Dakota.
DD1 - $600 - HISTORY ON ICE - In 1969 the Manhattan broke through the ice between Baffin Bay & Point Barrow, Alaska to traverse this Arctic passage (Danielle lost $1,200 on a true DD.)
DD2 - $2,000 - CHAPTERS IN NON-FICTION BOOKS - "Everest Summit May 10, 1996 29,028 feet" (Danielle won $2,000 from her leading score of $8,600.)
DD3 - $800 - LATIN PHRASEBOOK - Literally "good faith", this 2-word phrase has come to refer to the authenticity of credentials or other offical documents (Patrick won $4,000 from his total of $11,200 vs. $10,600 for Danielle.)
FJ - AMERICAN NAMES - One of the luminaries who drove in the “Golden Spike” in Utah in 1869 was this man who later founded a university
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Patrick dropped $3,601 to win with $13,999 for a three-day total of $60,500.
Triple Stumpers of the day: The chapter title "The Third Tuesday: We Talk About Regrets" didn't lead the players to "Tuesdays with Morrie", nor did "Elsa Meets Other Wild Animals" help them get "Born Free".

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is the Northwest Passage? DD2 - What is "Into Thin Air"? DD3 - What is bona fide? FJ - Who was Stanford?
