Jeopardy!
HUNGARY // BOOK TITLE REFERENCES // KNIGHT AFTER KNIGHT // PRE HISTORIC (start with "H-I", and then precede "historic" alphabetically) // TEXTING, TEXTING // ONE, TWO
DD1 - $600 - BOOK TITLE REFERENCES - The murder of Linnet Doyle aboard the Karnak, a steamer (Mazin lost the window maximum of $1,000.)
Scores going into DJ: Eric $6,800, Mazin $2,800, Lisa $-200.
Double Jeopardy!
U.S. HISTORY // ASTRONOMY // BIBLICAL WOMEN // FINANCE BROS // ROCK DOCS // DECIPHER OUR TOP-SECRET CODE PART II
DD2 - $1,600 - ASTRONOMY - Blown back by this, a comet's ion tail points almost directly away from the Sun (Eric won $6,000 from his total of $12,000 vs. $5,200 for Mazin.)
DD3 - $1,200 - BIBLICAL WOMEN - This dancer who in Matthew 14 is referred to as "the daughter of Herodias" is better known by this name (Eric added $5,000 to his score of $17,200 vs. $5,200 for Mazin.)
Eric won a total of $11,000 on the two DDs in DJ and maintained a safe margin into FJ at $29,400 vs. $9,200 for Mazin and $200 for Lisa.
Final Jeopardy!
TV LEGENDS - Buster Keaton considered her the tops in her field and in fact, was one of her early mentors
Only Lisa was correct on FJ. Eric dropped $2,600 to win with $26,800 for a six-day total of $160,601.
Odds and ends
That's before our time: No one knew that "two bits" is equal to 25 cents.
Judging the writers: They had more "fun" with texting today, baffling the players by suggesting the culprit for turning "Monday" into "manboobs" is autocorrect.
Overpriced clue of the day: $1,200 for recognizing Arizona and New Mexico on a map.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "Death on the Nile"? DD2 - What is solar wind? DD3 - Who was Salome? FJ - Who was Lucille Ball?
