- Alex Gordon, a surgical resident originally from Somers, New York.


Jeopardy! 


A REGIONAL TREASURE// SIMPLE SPANISH// MILITARY SLANG // A WILD MOOSE CHASE // THE MOURNING NEWS // SUPER BOWL STARS


DD1 - 800 - SIMPLE SPANISH - In Spanish it means "loud"; in music, it describes some female parts in choruses (Alex added 2,000.)


Scores at first break: Alex 3,400, Ed 0, Suzanne 3,200.


Scores entering DJ: Alex 6,000, Ed 1,400, Suzanne 4,600.


Double Jeopardy!

DD3 - 1,600 - THINKING ABOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE - After the great fire of 64 A.D., this emperor built himself a palace with an artificial lake & revolving dining room" (Suzanne added 2,500.)

Final Jeopardy!


COUNTRY MUSIC - “It was kind of a prodding to myself to play it straight”, said Johnny Cash of this 1956 hit


Amazingly, all three players knew the song the clue wanted, but they all gave the same incomplete title, so today's FJ was another Triple Stumper. Alex dropped 7,000 to advance with 19,000.


Final scores: Alex 19,000, Ed 593, Suzanne 12,300.


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is alto? DD2 - What is neonatologist? DD3 - Who was Nero? FJ - What is "I Walk the Line"? (All three players wrote "Walk the Line" without the "I" in front. With song titles, when in doubt give more than less, because you aren't penalized for giving extra words as long as the title is in there.)
