Jeopardy!

SOMETIME IN THE LAST 300 YEARS // BONSAI // FACTS & THE CITY // YOU CAN GO WITH THIS, YOU CAN GO WITH THAT // GOLF OF AMERICA // THERE'S NO I, BUT THERE'S "M-E"

DD1 - $800 - FACTS & THE CITY - You can likely find a good coffee in this South American capital at the base of 2 mountains, Guadalupe & Monserrate (Tyler doubled to $3,200.)

Scores at first break: Judith $1,800, Tyler $2,400, Jackie $600.

Scores entering DJ: Judith $3,200, Tyler $3,600, Jackie $3,400.

Double Jeopardy!

HISTORIC ALASKA // LITERARY HODGEPODGE // THEIR FIRST TOP 40 SOLO ALBUM // MOTIVATION // WHAT THE 20th CENTURY KIDS WERE SAYIN' // YOU GO, SISTER!

DD2 - $1,200 - LITERARY HODGEPODGE - A painting by Dutch artist Carel Fabritiu is at the heart of this 2014 Pulitzer Prize winner for Fiction (Jackie extended her lead, improving by $3,000 to $9,200.)

DD3 - $1,600 - HISTORIC ALASKA - Linking Prudhoe Bay to the port of Valdez, this controversial project was completed in 1977 at a cost of $8 billion (Tyler went from last to first, doubling to $9,600 vs. $9,200 for Jackie.)

A double-up on DD3 brought Tyler to a slight lead over Jackie, then first place into FJ came down to the final $400 clue, which Tyler scored on and improved to $11,200 vs. $10,800 for Jackie and $6,400 for Judith.

Final Jeopardy!

AMERICAN HISTORY - In 1847, a decade before making national news, he was the plaintiff in a Missouri case against Irene Emerson

Amazingly, everyone was incorrect on FJ. Judith bet it all and Jackie made a huge overbet from second place, so despite dropping $10,401, Tyler was able to hang on with just $799.

Final scores: Judith $0, Tyler $799, Jackie $300.

Wagering strategy: A better play for Jackie on FJ would have been a wager of $2,001, which would have covered a potential double-up by Judith if correct and given Jackie the win when everyone missed.

That's before their time: No one knew the popular 1966 word that was paired with "Kind of Love" in a song title, "Groovy". Also, they missed the crooner who had a Pebble Beach golf tournament named after him in 1947 being Bing Crosby, who could be described as the Taylor Swift of 90 years ago.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Bogotá? DD2 - What is "The Goldfinch"? DD3 - What is Alaska Pipeline? FJ - Who was Dred Scott?
