Double Jeopardy!

AFRICAN-AMERICAN FIRSTS // EPISODE ONE TV // IT'S ASTRONOMICAL // FIRESIDE CHATS // UNESCO CITIES OF LITERATURE // ANAGRAMS OF EACH OTHER

DD2 - $2,000 - AFRICAN-AMERICAN FIRSTS - In 1955 she became the first Black soloist to sing at the Metropolitan Opera, receiving an ovation before singing a note (Libby doubled to $10,800 vs. $15,400 for Eli.)

DD3 - $1,200 - IT'S ASTRONOMICAL - The Huygens gap, -the Encke gap & the Keeler gap lie between these (Libby added $2,000 to her score of $16,000 vs. $11,800 for Eli.)

Eli looked like he was running away with it after round one, but it all changed after Libby cut the margin with a double-up on DD2 and a crucial $4,000 swing on a bottom-row clue. Later with the lead, Libby was correct on DD3, then Eli came back impressively late but it wasn't quite enough, as Libby held first into FJ at $25,200 vs. $23,000 for Eli and $2,200 for Anne.

Final Jeopardy!

CELEBRITIES - An Ivy League grad, actress & author, she was Vogue's youngest cover girl at 14 & was called the face of the 1980s

Everyone was correct on FJ. Libby added $20,801 to win with $46,001 for a two-day total of $70,802.

Final scores: Libby $46,001, Anne $2,200, Eli $25,201.

That's before their time: No one knew the president who wore a cardigan for fireside chats, reflecting the energy crisis era, was Jimmy Carter.

Judging the writers: "...was called the face of the 1980s". Who called her that? Her publicist? Not important, I guess.

Ken's Korner: Was he really surprised that no one recognized a photo of F1 driver Max Verstappen?

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is burden of proof? DD2 - Who was Marian Anderson? DD3 - What are rings of Saturn? FJ - Who is Brooke Shields?
