Jeopardy!

DD1 - $800 - PLANTED BY - These trees at Rideau Hall, home of Canada's governor-general, include plantings by Haile Selassie & King Baudouin of Belgium (Angel lost $1,000.)

Double Jeopardy! 

HISTORIC SLOGANS & MOTTOES // THE BOOKS OF MORMONS // WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS // BIOPIC SUBJECTS // HORSING AROUND // "I_I_I"

DD2 - $1,200 - WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS - Founded in 1929 to promote the values of Hellenism, the Daughters of her is named for the patient wife of Odysseus (Aaron lost $2,000 from his score of $10,800 vs. $10,200 for Rishabh.)

DD3 - $1,200 - THE BOOKS OF MORMONS - One heck of a labyrinth is the only way out in this 2009 James Dashner novel (Two clues after DD2, Aaron dropped $10,400 on a true DD.)

The scores were very close when Aaron found DD2, made a modest bet and missed. Aaron had regained a slight lead when he discovered DD3, this time went for it all and missed again, so it was a big runaway for Rishabh going into FJ at $15,400 vs. $1,600 for Aaron. Finishing in the red was Angel at -$400.

Final Jeopardy!

Final scores: Rishabh $15,400, Angel -$400, Aaron $1,600.
