Jeopardy!

 Here are today's contestants:


- Claudine Lewis, an elementary school teacher originally from St. Louis, Missouri;

- Slade Gilmer, a paint quality team member originally from Russellville, Alabama; and

- TJ Fisher, a marketing specialist from San Francisco, California. TJ is a three-day champ with winnings of $59,924.


Jeopardy!


A BLAST FROM THE PAST // LIFE IS BUT A TV STREAM // PAGE BOYS // GOING FROM QUITTING TO RETIRED // HERE'S YOUR HAT... // WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?


DD1 - $800 - GOING (alphabetically) FROM QUITTING TO RETIRED - This adjective describes a quest that's doomed to fail (TJ added $1,000.)


Scores at first break: TJ $4,800, Slade $1,000, Claudine $3,400.


Scores entering DJ: TJ $8,200, Slade $2,800, Claudine $4,600.


Double Jeopardy!


THE 16th CENTURY // WORDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD // U.S. CITIES // THE GRAMMY FOR BEST COMEDY ALBUM // FAMOUS WOMEN // ISN'T IT ROMANTIC?


DD2 - $2,000 - U.S. CITIES - This second-most populous Illinois city is nicknamed "City of Lights" because of early street lamps, not a natural phenomenon (TJ remained in first after dropping $3,500 from his score of $9,800.)


DD3 - $1,200 - THE 16th CENTURY - Simplifying navigation, this Flemish cartographer made his eponymous 2-dimensional world map (With a comfortable lead, TJ bet just $100 and was correct.)


The game got closer when TJ missed DD2, but he drew away again to another runaway at $16,800 vs. $5,800 for Claudine and $5,200 for Slade.


Final Jeopardy!


SCIENCE RECORDS - It was introduced in 1992 & the record 43.3 was set in the high Andes, where stratospheric ozone levels are naturally low


Everyone was incorrect on FJ. TJ dropped just $200 to win with $16,600 for a four-day total of $76,524.


Final scores: TJ $16,600, Slade $2,000, Claudine $1,500.


Streaming struggles: Following up on yesterday's streaming TV FJ Triple Stumper, no one knew Amazon Prime Video's rock band series "Daisy Jones and the Six", or could name the free streamer from Fox called Tubi.


Overvalued clue of the day: In a literature category that was weirdly easy even for the first round, the bottom-row clue was "This title orphan was born in a workhouse...& dabbles in pickpocketing", referring of course to Oliver Twist.


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is quixotic? DD2 - What is Aroura? DD3 - Who was Mercator? FJ - What is UV index?
