Let's meet today's contestants:
- Max, a tutor, fell asleep at the Vatican;
- Ellen, an attorney, broke down 80 miles into a 3,000 mile trip; and
- Mike, an actor, saw the Bears and Blackhawks in Europe. Mike is a two-day champ with winnings of $37,400.
In a tough game with five leftovers in DJ, Ellen missed the first two DDs and Mike was never seriously challenged, cruising into FJ at $18,800 vs. $2,600 for Ellen. Max finished in the red at -$1,800.
DD1 - $800 - QUICK BIBLE BOOKS - Tribes are counted, wander in the desert & reach the borders of the Promised Land (On the last clue of the round, Ellen lost $2,000 from her score of $4,000.)
DD2 - $1,600 - AMERICAN HISTORY - The Platt Amendment of 1901 became a treaty between the U.S. & this new country & even became part of its constitution (Ellen lost $3,000 from her total of $4,400 vs. $8,800 for Mike.)
DD3 - $800 - AROUND THE LAB - The Illumina HiSeq X 10 was one of the first devices that could produce a person's complete one of these for under $1,000 (Mike won $2,400 from his score of $16,400 vs. $2,600 for Ellen.)
FJ - AMERICAN BUSINESS - In 2004, after a century as a household name, its last model rolled off the assembly line in Lansing, Michigan
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Mike dropped $1,200 to win with $17,600 for a three-day total of $55,000.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one guessed the biography that was turned into a 2015 Broadway musical was that of Hamilton.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is the Book of Numbers? DD2 - What is Cuba? DD3 - What is human genome? FJ - What is Oldsmobile?
