Today's contestants are:
- Julia, an attorney, whose cat was in a street gang;
- Grace, a global health and environmental science graduate, is loosely related to Disney's "Doc"; and
- John, an English professor, plays piano thanks to "The Man from Snowy River". John is a one-day champ with winnings of $19,700.
The door was open for John to make a run after Julia missed DD3, but instead Julia extended her advantage into FJ with $16,200 vs. $5,000 for John and $3,800 for Grace.
DD1 - $600 - 8-LETTER WORDS - One of three witches in "MacBeth" refers to it as a "charmed pot" (Grace won $400 on a true DD.)
DD2 - $2,000 - NOBEL PRIZE ODDITIES - 1948 had no Peace Prize winner; this man who was nominated that year was assassinated & Nobels are rarely given posthumously (John lost $2,000 from his score of $7,000 vs. $12,200 for Julia.)
DD3 - $1,600 - 20th CENTURY BOOKS & AUTHORS - Lucy in this Forster novel: "Charlotte, you mustn't spoil me: of course, you must look over the Arno, too" (Julia lost $2,000 from her total of $14,600 vs. $5,000 for John.)
FJ - 17th CENTURY FRENCHMEN - Pope Urban VIII once said, “If there is a God,” this French minister “will have much to answer for. If not, he had a successful life”
Everyone was correct on FJ. Julia added just $250 to win with $16,450.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the novel featuring the character Chance the gardener is "Being There".
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is cauldron? DD2 - Who was Gandhi? DD3 - What is "A Room with a View"? FJ - Who was Richelieu?
