Jeopardy!
U.S. HISTORY // 500 QUESTIONS // 3-LETTER, 3-LETTER // "B" MOVIES // POETIC WOMEN // POTENT POTABLE RHYME TIME
DD1 - $800 - U.S. HISTORY - During his tenure as Chief Justice of the United States, he swore in 5 presidents, including Andrew Jackson (Neal dropped $1,000.)
Scores at first break: Eric $2,800, Neal -$600, Laura $2,200.

Double Jeopardy!
A WORD IN A SHAKESPEARE PLAY // BOOMERS // THE SCIENCE FARE // WRITE FOR TV // GO JUMP IN THE OCEAN // INITIALS FROM GREEK GOD TO ROMAN GOD
DD2 - $1,200 - A WORD IN A SHAKESPEARE PLAY - Sir, please come back to the restaurant -- instead of the customer copy, you kept the slip marked this "copy" (Neal added $3,000 to his score of $6,000 vs. $9,600 for Laura.)
DD3 - $1,600 - INITIALS FROM GREEK GOD TO ROMAN GOD - H to J: these chief goddesses had their jealous moments in both civilizations (On the next-to-last clue of the round, Eric moved to a closer third by adding $4,600 to his total of $5,400 vs. $11,800 for Neal and $11,600 for Laura.)
The lead was up for grabs for all three players on the final clue of DJ. Neal got in first but missed, then Laura got it to show the way into FJ at $13,600 vs. $10,000 for Eric and $9,800 for Neal.
Final Jeopardy!
SUPER BOWL HISTORY - It's the only team to play in the Super Bowl before Neil Armstrong's moon walk that has not been back to the big game since
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Laura wisely played for the Triple Stumper from the lead, losing just $2,400 to win with $11,200.
Final scores: Eric $0, Neal $2,800, Laura $11,200.
Triple Stumper of the day: In another miss about sports history, no one knew the famous homer hit by Bobby Thomson is called "The shot heard round the world".
Clue selection strategy: In DJ, the players selected very clue from the top row while both DDs were on the board, and after DD2 was finally discovered, they stayed in the category instead of looking for DD3 elsewhere.
Correct Qs: DD1 - Who was John Marshall? DD2 - What is merchant? DD3 - Who are Hera and Juno? FJ - Who are the New York Jets?
