Final Jeopardy!


ANIMALS IN SCIENCE - The first mammal species sent on a rocket to space, it's perhaps more famous for an antigen in its blood


Sam and Enzo were correct on FJ. 


That's before their time: No one could identify "Little House on the Prairie" and "Highway to Heaven" star Michael Landon.


Judging the writers: Based on clue valuation, they apparently think "I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight" is a more well-known movie reference than "Rosebud".

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Pikes Peak? DD2 - What are Oxbridge & Camford? DD3 - What is "Oz"? FJ - What is a rhesus monkey (rhesus macaque)?
