Double Jeopardy!

DD2 (video) - $1,600 -  FOR YOU PAGE - She dedicated a 2017 book to those out on their own paths setting "Little Fires" (Mark added $2,100 to his score of $6,800 vs. $13,600 for Evan.)

DD3 - $1,600 - ONLY ONE VOWEL - It originally referred to a hunting station but has come to mean a secret arranged meeting between lovers (On the very next clue from DD2, Mark once again added $2,100.)

Mark scored on back-to-back DDs in DJ but went with small wagers both times, helping Evan retain first place into FJ at $17,200 vs. $13,800 for Mark and $800 for Hilary.

Final Jeopardy!

BRITISH KNIGHTS - A Sir since 2018, he contracted TB as a teen in 1953 & spent 8 years in a sanatorium, where he learned to play the drums

Evan and Mark were correct on FJ. Evan added just $3,000 and could have been passed by Mark if he had gone with a larger wager, but as it played out Evan won with $20,200.

Final scores: Mark $18,367, Evan $20,200, Hilary $496.

Triple Stumper of the day: For a clue about the kingdom with the northernmost point in Europe, after Evan was incorrect with Sweden, no one jumped in with Norway.

Judging the writers: This FJ, as well as yesterday's, fall into the category of "Pick the most obvious person, and here's a fact about them you probably didn't know that you might find interesting".

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is the Magic Flute? DD2 - Who is Ng? DD3 - What is tryst? FJ - Who is Ringo Starr?
