Jeopardy!

HISTORIC U.S. BUSINESSES // FOUND IN THE NATO PHONETIC ALPHABET // READ // YELLOW // BLUE // SALUTE THE FLAG OF ECUADOR!

DD1 - $1,000 - HISTORIC U.S. BUSINESSES - The Bismarck Tribune shocked the nation with the first full account of this 1876 event in which one of its correspondents died (Andrew added $1,000.)

Scores at first break: Andrew $1,800, Emily $400, David $3,400.

Scores entering DJ: Andrew $2,000, Emily $1,400, David $5,800.

Double Jeopardy!

SINGLE-NAMED SINGERS // WORLD CITIES // AROUND THE BODY // SUNRISE, SUNSET // BEFORE & AFTER // RIP VAN WINKLE SLEPT THROUGH IT

DD2 - $1,600 - SUNRISE, SUNSET - Mt. Bromo is famous for its otherworldly sunrises; it's one of this country's more than 50 active volcanoes, more than any other country (David retained a small lead after losing $4,400 from his score of $8,600.)

DD3 - $1,600 - BEFORE & AFTER - Fruity dessert created at Brennan's in New Orleans that had the 2011 hit song "Pumped Up Kicks" (Just off the lead, Andrew dropped $6,000 from his total of $7,200.)

Emily's opponents both missed DDs in DJ, so she had the lead just short of a runaway into FJ at $12,200 vs. $6,600 for David and $2,000 for Andrew.

Final Jeopardy!

COLLECTIONS - In 1896 the Vassar-educated wife of this man wrote, "thousands of dollars may be paid for a copy of Shakespeare"

Only Emily was correct on FJ, adding $1,001 to win with $13,201.

Final scores: Andrew $2,000, Emily $13,201, David $999.

Judging the writers: This was a good example of why it's not a best practice to place a DD in DJ in a category such as BEFORE & AFTER. For a clue that could easily decide the game, it's not fair to the contestant to have nothing to go on about the subject matter, except it will be silly wordplay.

Triple Stumper of the day: In HISTORIC U.S. BUSINESSES, no one guessed the "good timing" of the opening of a San Francisco bakery was in reference to 1849.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Battle of Little Big Horn (Custer's Last Stand)? DD2 - What is Indonesia? DD3 - What is Bananas Foster the People? FJ - Who was Folger?
