Jeopardy! recap for Tue., Feb. 22

 Please welcome today's contestants:


- Holly, a user experience researcher, has a unicorn in every room, at least 38 in total;

- Hieu, a trauma surgeon, was a triathlete; and

- Henry, a physician & professor, had the stick on his long walk in Japan, but apparently not the hat and jacket. Henry is a one-day champ with winnings of $20,101.


Jeopardy! 


FEB BE WARY // IN THE OLYMPIC CITY // MARK'S-"ISM" // ALSO A SCHOOL WORD // FREE STUFF // TWEETS


DD1 - $800 - IN THE OLYMPIC CITY - The Palace of Catalan Music, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Henry won the table limit of $1,000.)


Scores going into DJ: Henry $5,400, Hieu $2,800, Holly $2,000.


Double Jeopardy! 


THE 1600s // BOOKS & AUTHORS // ICONOGRAPHY // BEST SPOKEN WORD GRAMMY // ____ OF ____ // TWEETS


DD2 - $1,600 - BEST SPOKEN WORD GRAMMY - 2001 honored "Q--The Autobiography of" this music legend who has 28 Grammys (Hieu won $3,000 from his total of $5,200 vs. $11,800 for Henry.)


DD3 (video) - $800 - ICONOGRAPHY - The base that the bodhisattva sits on is a stylized version of this symbolic flower, also the name of the position he's in (On the last clue of DJ, Hieu took the lead by adding $2,000 to his score of $13,400 vs. $15,000 for Henry.)


Scores going into FJ: Henry $15,000, Hieu $15,400, Holly $3,600.


Final Jeopardy!


AMERICAN WOMEN - In 1914 she received a patent on a trefoil emblem, which she would transfer to an organization a few years later


Surprisingly, everyone was incorrect on FJ. Henry dropped $7,800 to win with $7,200 for a two-day total of $27,301. Note that if Holly had gone all-in and was correct, there would have been a tiebreaker clue between her and Henry, so Henry should have bet at least $1 less than he did.


Odds and ends


Tough category of the day: In ALSO A SCHOOL WORD, no one came up with the word that comes between phylum & order (class), an adjective meaning "highest in importance" (principal), or a synonym for an alcove (recess).


Ken's Korner: He was very amused about a Dionne Warwick tweet that she "cannot stop thinking about" well-known rapper Chance the Rapper having a stage name including "the Rapper".


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Barcelona? DD2 - Who is Quincy Jones? DD3 - What is lotus? FJ - Who was Juliette Gordon Low?
