Jeopardy!

CENTURY 21 LISTINGS // CHILDREN'S LIT EN ESPAÑOL // IN BLACK & WHITE // CRYPTOCURRENCY // LAWN GAME MISHAPS // WHO, "ME"?

DD1 - $1,000 - CENTURY 21 LISTINGS - Folks paved paradise & put up a parking lot over his bones, but he was reburied in 2015; his coffin bore his name & "1452-1485" (Stephanie added $2,000 up to $4,800.)

Scores at first break: Kate $2,800, Harsha $1,200, Stephanie $7,000.

Double Jeopardy!

THE STREETS ARE WATER! // PUTTING THE "S" IN SCIENCE // ADJECTIVES // CLOCK IT // LIFE ON TCM // ROMAN GODS & GODDESSES

DD2 - $2,000 - ADJECTIVES - A person who's this may be perceptive or may dutifully follow religious guidelines (Stephanie lost $4,000 down to $9,600 v. $5,600 for Harsha.)

DD3 - $1,200 - ROMAN GODS & GODDESSES - Originally a grain futures exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade building is topped by a statue of this goddess (Kate lost $6,000 on a true DD vs. $12,400 for Stephanie.)

The game got closer when Stephanie missed DD2, but after Kate's bid to double-up on DD3 failed, Stephanie drew off to a comfortable runaway into FJ at $18,800 vs. $6,000 for Harsha and $2,800 for Kate.

Final Jeopardy!

PRODUCE - The name of this fruit commemorates an Australian gardener who died in her 70s in the 19th century

Only Harsha was correct on FJ. Stephanie dropped $2,200 to win with $16,600.

Note that if Kate had been correct on DD3, she would have been close enough in second place to likely take the win with a small bet when Stephanie missed FJ.

Final scores: Kate $0, Harsha $6,381, Stephanie $16,600.

Overvalued clue dept.: $2,000 for knowing the type of hat worn by Charlie Chaplin in the movies was a bowler.
