DD2 - $1,600 - IT HAPPENED IN '22 - 1922: this North African country gains independence from British rule with Fuad I as king (Nadège won $2,500 from her total of $7,400 vs. $15,600 for Tim.)
DD3 - $800 - TRIPLE THE DOUBLE LETTERS - For much of its history, the USSR was run by the Central this group (Nadège lost $2,000 from her score of $7,900 vs. $18,400 for Tim.)
Scores going into FJ: Mihir $6,400, Tim $18,800, Nadège $5,900.
Final Jeopardy!
POEMS - The title of this poem comes from a 1920 book that refers to its possible “restoration to fruitfulness”
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Tim dropped $2,000 to win with $16,800.
Odds and ends
Wagering strategy: When Nadège found DD3, there were only two other $400 clues remaining. Since she would have been eliminated with a miss betting $2,000 anyway, she should have just gone very big. If she had done so and been correct, she could have won the game with a small FJ wager when Tim missed.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one could name the "reclusive" female star whose last movie came out in 1941 at age 36, Greta Garbo.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Jacksonville? DD2 - What is Egypt? DD3 - What is Committee? FJ - What is "The Waste Land"?
