Jeopardy!


& WE'RE "OFF" // BOOK CHARACTERS // FASHION DESIGNERS // CONNECT 4 // EXPLORERS & EXPLORATION // THE CELEB'S DINING ESTABLISHMENT


DD1 - $800 - CONNECT 4 - Julian, Dinaric, Bavarian, Maritime (Geoff lost $2,000.)


Scores at first break: Geoff $800, Kyle $2,200, Abbi $800.


Scores entering DJ: Geoff $1,800, Kyle $5,600, Abbi $1,600.


Double Jeopardy!


UNCANNY VALLEY // ART & ARTISTS // HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO // A LATIN TURN OF PHRASE // TOO WEAK // NOTICE


DD2 - $2,000 - ART & ARTISTS - One of her favorite views to paint was Pedernal Mountain & she had her ashes scattered on it after she died (Kyle added $2,000 to his leading score of $6,400.)


DD3 - $2,000 - UNCANNY VALLEY- Pharaohs of the 18th, 19th & 20th Dynasties rest royally among about 60 known tombs in this area west of the Nile (Kyle dropped $4,000 from his total of $8,800 vs. $2,600 for Geoff.)


In a low-scoring contest, a miss by Kyle on DD3 kept it close, with Kyle leading into FJ at $5,200 vs. $4,200 for Geoff. Finishing in the red was Abbi at -$400.


Final Jeopardy!


SCIENCE FICTION - Referring to what’s wrongly believed to be a meteorite, “The Falling Star” is the title of Chapter 2 of this 1898 novel


Only Geoff was correct on FJ, adding $2,200 to win with $6,400 for a three-day total of $44,801. Note that Geoff sized his wager so that even if he missed, he still would have won by $1.


Final scores: Geoff $6,400, Kyle $1,999, Abbi -$400.


Rough game dept.: The one-minute warning in DJ game with nine clues remaining, and the round ended with four leftovers.


Correct Qs: DD1 - What are parts of the Alps? DD2 - Who was Georgia O'Keeffe? DD3 - What is Valley of the Kings? FJ - What is "The War of the Worlds"?
