DD1 - 800 - SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES - Historians use "the long 19th century" to refer to the 125-year period between the starts of these 2 European cataclysms (Troy doubled to 5,600.)

Scores at first break: Raymond 5,600, Troy 5,600, Jackie 400.

Scores entering DJ: Raymond 7,400, Troy 7,400, Jackie 1,600.

Double Jeopardy! 

POSTERS // HEALTH & MEDICINE // 10-LETTER WORDS // YOUR CHARITY AWAITS // THAT'S MY SISTER // SURPRISE! SHAKESPEARE!

DD2 - 800 - SURPRISE! SHAKESPEARE! - The title of this play is fulfilled in Act V, Scene 3, when Helena finally gets her Bertram (Jackie moved into second by doubling to 11,200 vs. 13,000 for Troy.)

DD3 - 1,600 - YOUR CHARITY AWAITS - Each year this organization founded in 1944 awards scholarships worth more than $65 million as it aids 37 HBCUs (Two clues after DD2, Raymond moved from third to first, improving by 5,000 to 15,600.)

Final Jeopardy!

THE SOUTHWEST - The 4-syllable name of this city is almost identical to its namesake town in Spain, except that the Spanish one has an extra “r”

Raymond and Troy were correct on FJ, with Raymond adding 14,401 to advance with 39,601.

Final scores: Raymond 39,601, Troy 27,401, Jackie 0.

Triple Stumper of the day: In A DUAL MEANING, no one guessed a word for a bent posture or a place a group of friends could hang out is "stoop" (for some reason the writers thought a reference to "Hannah & her besties" would be helpful in solving this).

Wagering strategy: Jackie chose to go all-in from third place on FJ, while with a 0 bet, she could have won on a Triple Stumper, as both opponents made the standard cover wagers.

Overpriced clue dept.: 2,000 for providing the name of the person in the John Lennon title "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite".

Correct Qs: DD1 - What are the French Revolution & World War I? DD2 - What is "All's Well That Ends Well"? DD3 - What is the United Negro College Fund? FJ - What is Albuquerque?
