It was another rough week of Final Jeopardy! clues. Again, someone didn’t make it to the final round, so there were 14 possible correct responses. This time, there were only 4 right for the whole week! I thought Friday’s clue was the week’s easiest, with 2 different ways to figure it out, although the ancient poet was easiest for me. The chemical element was the hardest for me and the contestants who got that one didn’t fare well either
