Final Jeopardy!

RANKS AND TITLES - Still in use today, this title may come from the idea that Roman priests made bridges between men & the gods

Only Noah was correct on FJ, adding $1,390 to win with $9,990.

Final scores: Diana $7,199, Marissa $2,000, Noah $9,990.

That's before their time: No one could the movie for which "Day of the Dead" was the sequel, "Night of the Living Dead".

Overvalued clue dept.: $2,000 for Stanley and Livingstone.

Judging the writers: Again, if it's a single-subject category, you don't need to put -POURRI in the title. It's just dumb.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is lily? DD2 - What is friction? DD3 - Who is Harris? FJ - What is Pontifex (pontiff)?
