Jeopardy!

IT'S GONNA BE A LONG ONE // WORDS YOU DON'T HEAR SO MUCH // PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS // 4-LETTER GEOGRAPHY // SINGERS' MEMOIRS // PREPARED TO BE PROBED!


DD2 - $1,600 - WORDS YOU DON'T HEAR SO MUCH - It's a 4-letter covering of the head of a newborn; David Copperfield was born with one, hence perhaps the name of fiction's Holden (Molly added $3,600.)


DD3 - $1,200 - SINGERS' MEMOIRS - Not a quick read, her "My Name Is..." memoir from 2023 is just under 1,000 pages, or, if you prefer the audio, 48 Hours! (On the next clue after DD2, Molly added $3,000.)

Final Jeopardy!

Only Ethan was correct on FJ. Will chose to wager $0 even though he could have bet enough to cover a possible double-up by Molly without increasing his chances of losing the game. Will's $15,600 win gave him a two-day total of $44,200.


Final scores: Will $15,600, Molly $2,399. Ethan $4,399.
