Jeopardy!

DD1 - $600 - GO WITH THE FLOW - The Dong Nai & Ben Cat join this river, which still goes by its original name, unlike the former capital it flows through (Nabil lost $2,200 on a true DD.)

Scores entering DJ: Adam $8,000, Nabil $1,600, Sarah $3,600.

Double Jeopardy!

FONTS: BAPTISMAL EDITION // WRITERS' ALMA MATERS // WHOSE WHAT? // 5-LETTER ADJECTIVES // ANCIENT NAMES // TELE- LIKE IT IS

DD2 - $1,600 - 5-LETTER ADJECTIVES - This colorful adjective is used to describe both a lion's coat & a type of port wine (Nabil dropped $2,800 on a true DD.)

DD3 - $1,200 - WHOSE WHAT? - This Moscow landmark is also known as the Church of the Intercession on the Moat (Adam added $4,000 up to $16,800.)

Final Jeopardy!

HOLLYWOOD NAMES - He’s got 12 Oscar nominations & 2 wins & a Henry Mancini Award from ASCAP & in 2018 received the German Order of Merit

Only Nabil was correct on FJ. Adam dropped $6,600 to win with $21,800 for a three-day total of $57,601.

Final scores: Adam $21,800, Nabil $1,625, Sarah $3,300.

Judging the writers: For the FJ clue, the sentence would have been much less awkward if they had replaced the first two ampersands with commas.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Saigon? DD2 - What is tawny? DD3 - What is St. Basil's Cathedral? FJ - Who is Hans Zimmer?
