“JEOPARDY!” 3/28/19

Kenji Shimizu (Ann Arbor): Biomedical engineer
Sarah Von Oeyen (Troy, MI): Libarian
CHAMP: Steven Grade

BB:
MOVEABLE FEASTS?
FILM DIRECTORS
WE WOULD HAVE ALSO ACCEPTED…
NAME THAT NOVELIST!
THE WESTERN U.S.
PUT A “RING” ON IT

Steven runs Film Directors to begin this game; call me crazy, but I think it’s been a while since that last happened.

HS:

Steven: $5,400/Sarah: $800/Kenji: $400

For the DD at the bottom of another category going to Sarah ($1800), Name That Novelist! She bets the grand.

“Tonight’s lecture– a slide show about Pagan symbolism hidden in the stones of Chartres Cathedral.”

“Who is Dan Brown?”…right. Time’s out on the $800 We Would Have Also Accepted… clue.

CS:

Steven: $8,200/Sarah: $5,200/Kenji: $2,800

DJ!:
THING 1 & THING 2
CELEBRITY SIBLINGS
FICTIONAL MEMOIRS
FOR THE BIRDS
LETTER PERFECT
DIET LAND

DD #1’s not gotten to until Kenji chooses the $1600 part of Diet Land; each challenger has $9200 at their disposal, $9K off the trail. Kenji wagers five stacks.

Traveling on foot this reformer missed the diet of Augsburg in 1518 but got a horse & wagon & made it to the one in worms.

“What is Martin Luther?”…right Kenji is. DD #2’s For the Birds at $1200 & Steven ($21,200) takes it away; he’ll take out $4K of his hefty 1st-place pot to wager.

Sailors have long been superstitious about killing this bird as reflected in a 1798 poem.

“What is an ‘Albatross’?”…that will continue to let him fly further away from the competition.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $400 (For the Birds)
UNATTEMPTED LT: $3600
TOTAL DJ! LT: Four grand

Pre-Final S:

Steven: $27K/Sarah: $9,200/Kenji: $17,800

MALE CORYATS:
Steven: $24,200
Kenji: $14,400

GEICO FJ! #142: FAMOUS PHRASE ORIGINS

One theory said a phrase for euphoria came from Plate No. 9 in an 1896 meteorological “atlas” of these.

SARAH: “What are the stars” (ZIPPO)
KENJI: “What are clouds?” ($9201) = $27,001
STEVEN: SAME AS KENJI = $35,601 $57,201
