Jeopardy!

DD2 - $1,200 - AT THE MUSEUM - The Vasa sailed less than a mile before sinking on its 1628 maiden voyage; in 1990, it got its own museum in this capital (Amar added $4,000.)
DD3 - $2,000 - HEY BABY, WHAT'S YOUR SCIENCE? - The scientific paper "Soil Animals and Pedogenesis" focuses on the role of this creature in transforming organic matter (Amar improved to $14,800 vs. $5,600 for Ryan.)
Amar got rolling in DJ, scoring on both DDs, which lifted him to a runaway at $16,000 vs. $7,200 for Ryan and $5,000 for Tim.
Final Jeopardy!

Final scores: Amar $14,500, Tim $2,749, Ryan $7,200.
That's before their time: No one knew the foods mentioned in the lyrics of "Under the Boardwalk" (hot dogs and french fries), the actor who played the title character of the classic film "Klute" (Donald Sutherland), or the star of the not-so-classic films "Encino Man" and "Bio-Dome" (Pauly Shore).
Clue selection strategy: In a situation rarely seen in the post-Holzhauer era, in the first round three categories were completed before the other three were even touched.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "Into Thin Air"? DD2 - What is Stockholm? DD3 - What are earthworms? FJ -Who is Brenda Lee?
