Jeopardy!

OVER YOUR HEAD // SCIENCE // THAT NAME IS A WORD // GEOGRAPHY "R" US // AN ALPHANUMERIC RESPONSE // THE TONY AWARDS

DD1 - $800 - SCIENCE - On the periodic table, these are the only 2 elements ending in "D"--in 2025, the LHC was able to briefly turn one into the other (Webster lost $1,000.)

Scores at first break: Peter $2,200, Webster $1,600, Susan $400.

Scores entering DJ: Peter $4,600, Webster $1,200, Susan $0.

Double Jeopardy!

I'M A LITTLE BIT VERKLIMT // QUICK LIT // AFFIRMATIONS // THE CUSTOMER IS NEVER RIGHT // THE CIVIL WAR // X GOIN' GIVE IT TO YA

DD2 - $1,200 - THE CIVIL WAR - The site of a key siege during the Revolutionary War, this Virginia port was taken by the Union after another siege in 1862 (Peter held a slight lead after dropping $3,600 down to $3,000.)

DD3 - $1,600 - X GOIN' GIVE IT TO YA - To wound badly gets jabbed with an X to get this word for a general truth (Webster doubled to $9,600 vs. $5,000 for Peter.)

Peter missed DD2 while Webster was correct on DD3, which made the difference in Webster leading into FJ at $13,600 vs. $11,400 for Peter and $7,200 for Susan.

Final Jeopardy!

U.S. DEMOGRAPHY - The United States’ 3 most densely populated municipalities lie along a 3.5-mile stretch of Palisade Ave. in this state

Only Peter was correct on FJ, doubling up to win with $22,800 for a four-day total of $96,997.

Final scores: Peter $22,800, Webster $9,200, Susan $799.

Wagering strategy: From the lead in FJ, Webster chose not to cover double of Peter's score, so Webster would have lost even if he had been correct.

Missing the layup: After Peter got the order mixed up in his response to a clue about "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and was ruled incorrect, his opponents didn't jump in with the correct title.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What are lead and gold? DD2 - What is Yorktown? DD3 - What is maxim? FJ - What is New Jersey?
