Final Jeopardy!

LITERARY CHARACTERS - Dostoyevsky wrote that this title man in an earlier European novel is “beautiful only because he is ridiculous”

Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Margaret dropped $2,500 to win with $21,500 for a four-day total of $79,700.

Odds and ends

Triple Stumper of the day: In THE ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE, no one guessed the L. Frank Baum character a clue wanted was the Tin Man, as the category was only clarified after this was missed.

One more thing: A clue about Ukraine was accompanied by an on-screen display that read "Recorded Jan. 11, 2022".

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is the Forbidden City? DD2 - Who is Merlin? DD3 - What is Komodo dragon? FJ - Who is Don Quixote?
