DD2 - $1,600 - LEADING FROM THE FRONT - Military genius Gustavus Adolphus made Sweden a power in this war but died leading a charge at 1632 Battle of Lützen (Thomas doubled to $6,000 vs. $11,200 for Geoff.)

Geoff opened a nice lead by doubling on DD1, Anne tried to make a game of it late but couldn't quite break up Geoff's runaway, as he entered FJ at $23,000 vs. $9,600 for Anne and $4,800 for Thomas.
Final Jeopardy!
PHRASE ORIGINS - An 1845 article called "annexation" was the first appearance of this two-word phrase implying inevitability
Only Geoff was correct on FJ, adding $1,000 to win with $24,000.
Final scores: Thomas $0, Anne $1, Geoff $24,000.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the murder mystery play first performed in London in 1952 and set in Monkswell Manor during a snowstorm is "The Mousetrap".
Wagering strategy: Unless they've changed the rules, Anne didn't have to wager anything on FJ to lock up second money. In the event of a tie for second, the player that was ahead of their opponent entering FJ gets the larger consolation prize.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is yin and yang? DD2 - What is Thirty Years' War? DD3 - What is active ingredient? FJ - What is manifest destiny?
