Another easy time of it for Isaac, who opened up a solid lead in the first round and just kept on going without a serious threat into FJ at $27,400 vs. $7,200 for Karan and $5,000 for Stephanie.
Final Jeopardy!
OPERA - The melody of a traditional piece for the Koto called “Echigo-jishi” is used in Act 1 of this opera
Everyone was correct on this simple FJ clue, which seems to happen quite a bit when the FJ category sounds hard. Isaac added $3,000 to win with $30,400 for a four-day total of $100,586.
Final scores: Isaac $30,400, Karan $10,001, Stephanie $5,000.
That's before their time: No one knew the title character from the late 80s Terry Gilliam film that involved a trip to the moon (Baron Munchausen), or the first name of the actress most active in the first half of the last century from the legendary Barrymore family (Ethel).
This day in shilling: Not only did we get a guest category and host plug for a movie coming out on Friday, we got a commercial for it in the final break.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Ceres? DD2 - What is "Bullet Train"? DD3 - What is Cape Cod? FJ - What is Madama (Madame) Butterfly?
