- Sarah, a business manager, has kept track of all the books she's read since March 1996;

Jeopardy!
WORLD LEADERS // FANTASY FICTION // OUT OF... // PILLOW TALK // SMITH & JONES // VIGOROUS VOCAB
DD1 - $600 - WORLD LEADERS - Otto von Bismarck was this Germanic nation's prime minister from 1862 to 1890, with a brief break around 1873 (Mattea won the window maximum of $1,000.)
Scores going into DJ: Mattea $5,000, Caitlin $3,800, Sarah $5,200.
Double Jeopardy!
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI// GEOLOGY // ART ON COMMISSION // AIRLINES // ACTORS ON BROADWAY // ONE E, DOUBLE E
DD2 - $1,200 - AIRLINES - A shamrock has been the emblem of this airline for over 80 years (Mattea won $3,200 from her score of $6,600 vs. $5,200 for Sarah.)
DD3 - $800 - ART ON COMMISSION - It was Leonardo da Vinci's patron Ludovico Sforza who commissioned this work painted on the wall of a monastery in Milan (Mattea won $3,000 from her total of $12,600 vs. $8,200 for Caitlin.)
Scores going into FJ: Mattea $20,800, Caitlin $9,800, Sarah $12,400.
Final Jeopardy!
WORLD LITERATURE - Befitting the title, Antoine Gallard, the first Western translator of this collection, worked on it only “after dinner”
Only Caitlin was correct on FJ, which should have meant a victory for her. But for some reason, Caitlin only bet $2,000, allowing Mattea to escape with the win, dropping $4,001 to hang on with $16,799 and a 10-day total of $227,601.
Odds and ends
Triple Stumper of the day: In OUT OF..., no one knew the phrase with an extremity that means both "without consideration" & "without control" is "out of hand".
Ken's Korner: For a clue about the hartebeest, Ken said that "it was gnu to me, no pun intended". He's not fooling anyone, that pun was totally intended.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Prussia? DD2 - What is Aer Lingus? DD3 - What is "The Last Supper"? FJ - What is "Arabian Nights"?
