Jeopardy!
VICTORIAN ENGLAND // AS DEFINED BY MERRIAM-WEBSTER // "& THE" MUSIC PLAYED ON // SUN KISSED // HOW MANY SQUARES CONTAIN... // BICYCLES
DD1 - $400 - VICTORIAN ENGLAND - The Match Girls strike of 1888 involved young women & their toxic exposure to this white element they put on match tips (Will doubled to $3,600.)
Scores at first break: Will $5,800, Jennifer $1,600, Francis $1,600.
Scores entering DJ: Will $11,200, Jennifer $2,600, Francis $1,400.
Double Jeopardy!
NOTES & QUERIES // SECOND LETTER "Y" // SCIENCE FACTS // EPONYMOUSLY YOURS // CAPITAL CITY MAYORS // NOT AMNESIA AGAIN...
DD2 - $1,200 - NOTES & QUERIES - At the start of this Y.A. novel, the title character asks a higher power to not let "New Jersey be too horrible" (Francis lost $7,400 on a true DD vs. $14,400 for Will.)
DD3 - $1,600 - CAPITAL CITY MAYORS - Mark Sutcliffe, who studied political science at Carleton University there (With a big lead, Will dropped by $3,000 down to $13,800.)
Will had a big lead after round one, then Francis started fast in DJ and had a chance to take first with a double-up in DD2, but missed. Will wasn't threatened after that, cruising into FJ at $17,000 vs. $5,200 for Francis and $3,800 for Jennifer.
Final Jeopardy!
THE SUPREME COURT - Chief Justice John Marshall wrote, "a law repugnant to the constitution is void" in his landmark decision on this case
Everyone was correct on FJ. Will added $6,000 to win with $23,000 for a four-day total of $77,403.
Final scores: Will $23,000, Jennifer $5,800, Francis $6,400.
Triple Stumper of the day: For a top-row clue, no one knew the "& the" band that had the 1984 hit "I Would Die 4 You", Prince & the Revolution.
Ken's Korner: He did not object to Francis saying "Let's make it a true Daily Double, Alex", similar to how after over 15 years, players on The Price Is Right still sometimes say "One dollar, Bob!"
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is phosphorus? DD2 - What is "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret"? DD3 - What is Ottawa? FJ - What is Marbury v. Madison?
