“JEOPARDY!” 2/19/16

Mitch Metcalfe (Austin): Digital marketer
Pat Woodard (DEN): Journalist & documentary producer
BIG TWO-DAY CHAMP: Tim Kutz

BB:
ROCK ME GENTLY
LITERARY QUOTES
GREEN STUFF
“DO”
BREAD
MONEY IN OTHER WORDS

Tim runs the Rock Me Gently clues.

HS:

Tim: $5,400/Mitch: $400/Pat: $1,400

Two clues after the interviews, Mitch makes it a TDD the moment the opportunity arises courtesy of the $800 Green Stuff answer using his g-spot.

W/ soft needles & an attractive shape, the Norfolk Island type of this tree is good for indoor use.

“What is a pine?” it is.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $1K (Green Stuff)
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $800 (Bread)

CS:

Tim: $10,200/Mitch: $1,600/Pat: $3K

DJ!:
A GOOD VIEW AT THE OPERA
TRAVEL & TOURISM
PHILOSOPHY
AN ACTOR’S LIFE FOR ME
1890s AMERICA
AS EASY AS 1, 2, 4

Mitch sure wants this $1600 clue to literally be As Easy As 1,2,4 because it’s DD time for him again. As the current 2nd-placer, he has $4K more than the clue’s face value & is $7K off of the Tim’s pace; Pat’s standing pat on $4200. This $3K answer could put Mitch back in the thick of it.

This term for a slot machine is a bit dated, as a lot are push-button now.

“What is pull-lever?”…not gonna cut it- one-armed bandit. Tim locks in the last one of the wk. $1200 into Philosophy (only the $800 space remains after this clue) & can just taste his 3rd victory w/ $18,600; $8200 is the total for Pat & Mitch’s now on $2200. Only five bills gambled by Tim.

Aristotle came at this branch of reasoning philosophically, but in 1847 George Boole argued that it’s part of math.

He didn’t have the logic or guts to correctly respond “What is logic?”. Mitch ends DJ! at the $3K stage.

ATTEMPTED LT: $4800
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $2K (Philosophy)
TOTAL DJ! LT: $6800
MITCH’S CORYAT: $5,800

FJ! C #115: LATE ENTERTAINERS

In 2015 a street connecting w/ Frank Sinatra Drive & Dean Martin Drive in Las Vegas was renamed in his honor.

MITCH: “Who is Sammy Davis, Jr.?” = $6K
PAT: SAME = $16,200
TIM: ALL THREE GOT IT = $19,100 $82,599
