DD2 (video) - $1,200 - WEAPON NAMES - In 1939, Artem Mikoyan & Mikhail Gurevich headed a design bureau that has turned out generations of these fighter planes (On the first clue of the round, Steve improved by $2,000 to $3,400.)

Final Jeopardy!

EUROPEAN SCIENTISTS - On the 2022 bicentennial of his birth, the body of this man was exhumed & DNA used to determine his genetic afflictions

Everyone was incorrect on FJ.  Amar chose to wager nearly everything, which allowed Abby to take the win as she dropped $3,000 to finish on top at $5,200.

Final scores: Amar $1, Abby $5,200, Steve $2,399.

Movie miscues: The players missed three clue in the movie category, including the top-row clue about the 2018 John Krasinski film which included characters communicating in sign language, "A Quiet Place".

Underpriced clue of the day: only $400 for knowing the boy band which sounds like an abbreviation for "filming people filming people", BTS (which apparently also stands for "behind the scenes').

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is seven? DD2 - What are MIGs? DD3 - What is "The Perfect Storm"? FJ -Who was Mendel?
