Jeopardy!
2015: 10 YEARS AGO // LATINAS // OTHER USES OF TEXTING ABBREVIATIONS // TV THIS CENTURY // SCIENCE // THAT PHRASE IS MONEY
DD1 - 1,000 - SCIENCE - The recoil of a gun is an example of conservation of this, mass times velocity (Paul lost 3,800 on a true DD.)

Double Jeopardy!

Final Jeopardy!
HISTORIC CURRENCY - Henry VII minted the first pound coin in 1489, which was called this, also a term for what Henry was
Will and Paul were correct on FJ. Will added 4,000 to advance with 13,800. Jen bet just 2,000 so stayed ahead of Paul's double-up in the wild card race.
Final scores: Will 13,800, Paul 8,000, Jen 8,200.
Judging the writers: I appreciate that they titled the category 2015: 10 YEARS AGO, because if it was called simply 2015, I never could have figured out how long ago that was on my own.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is momentum? DD2 - What is "Lady Chatterley's Lover"? (Paul added an "s" to the end, which was incorrect for both the title and the information in the clue.) DD3 - Who was Lewis Carroll? FJ - What is sovereign?
