Today's contestants are:
- Zach, a palliative physician, wrote a letter of recommendation that led to a wedding;
- Alicia, a physician, loves cheese, which is a "big problem"; and
- Lucas, a school counselor, whose mom wants Jeopardy! players to select in order, even though Lucas doesn't. Lucas is a one-day champ with winnings of $20,100.
Jeopardy!
HISTORIC AMERICANS // BOOKS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT // TRIPLE TIME // THE FORBES 2023 BILLIONAIRES // RETITLED MOVIE ADAPTATIONS // ANATOMICAL ANAGRAMS
DD1 - $800 - HISTORIC AMERICANS - Soon after he lost his Supreme Court case, this enslaved American was emancipated by the son of his first owner (Lucas added $2,000 to his leading score of $3,200.)
Scores at first break: Lucas $5,200, Alicia $1,200, Zach $200.
Scores going into DJ: Lucas $5,200, Alicia $2,400, Zach $1,200.
Double Jeopardy!
WORLD CITIES // PLAY TIME // STARTS WITH "H-I" // THE BAR MITZVAH BOY // THAT SONG SLAYS // HERE BE PIRATES!
DD2 - $1,600 - PLAY TIME - The play "Mrs. Warren's Profession" by this Irishman was considered so scandalous it was banned for years (Alicia dropped $2,000 from her total of $8,800 vs. $8,000 for Lucas.)
DD3 - $2,000 - WORLD CITIES - Today an art school stands at the place in this huge metropolis where Rudyard Kipling was born in 1865 (Just two clues after DD2, Alicia added $1,800 to her score of $6,800 vs. $8,000 for Lucas.)
Alicia found both DDs in DJ but was only correct on one of them, and as a result Lucas was able to hold onto the lead into FJ at $13,600 vs. $11,000 for Alicia and $2,000 for Zach.
Final Jeopardy!
FIGHTING FORCES - Formed in 1831 to help with the conquest of Algeria, its ranks have included German, Turks & Chinese
Everyone was correct on FJ. Lucas added $8,500 to win with $22,100 for a two-day total of $42,200.
Final scores: Lucas $22,100, Alicia $17,999, Zach $3,986.
Odds and Ends
Triple Stumper of the day: In the category about billionaires, no one knew the new face on the list from basketball is LeBron James and the one from golf is Tiger Woods.
FJ wagering strategy: By betting $6,999, Alicia locked out Zach from having a chance to pass her. However, if she missed she would have dropped to $4,001 and still would have lost even if Lucas also missed. A better wager would have been no more than $5,800, which would have given Alicia the win if Lucas missed without having to be correct herself.
Correct Qs: DD1 - Who was Dred Scott? DD2 - Who was Shaw? DD3 - What is Mumbai? FJ - What is the French Foreign Legion?
