Final Jeopardy: Pop Music (1-26-21)
Here are 4 more triple stumpers from the 1/26/2021 Jeopardy! game:
YOU CROSSED THE LINE ($200) …leaving Priozersk, off Russia’s Lake Ladoga, for a trip west to this country
INFO PLEASE ($1600) This marsupial that includes a “hairy-nosed” type has an extra-tough butt to protect it when burrowing headfirst
HISTORIC SURVIVORS ($1600) This Austrian race-car driver had expressed safety concerns about the 1976 Grand Prix race in which he crashed horrifically. Though given last rites, he only missed 2 events that season & would go on to win 2 more F1 Grand Prix titles
($2000) This 1936 Olympian enlisted when WWII broke out. In 1943, his plane crashed into the ocean & he survived on a raft for 47 days, only to be taken as a POW where despite more than 2 years of captivity & torture, he remained “unbroken”, also the title of a bestseller about him

Sneak Peek clues — FINANCIAL SLANG:

($400) In terms of clusters of hedge funds, Lower Hedgistan is in Manhattan & Upper Hedgistan is in Greenwich in this state
($600) The VIX, or this index, is also known as the “fear index” because it’s a barometer of the risk in the market
($800) Traders use yard, short for “milliard”, to mean this very large number
($1000) This dark fowl is a term for a highly improbable but possible event, like the 2008 crisis

I’m so excited for Zach Newkirk to come back on Thursday!!! I hope Brian wins tomorrow and if he does it will be a 7 day champ against a 4 day champ so that will be EPIC competition! At 7:55 pm when Final Jeopardy! comes on, I will find out what Brian’s 6 day total is. Please do not tell me how much he wins today because I want to find out at the end of the show. As of now:
Brian Chang: 5 Games (since I haven’t seen his 6th game yet) $116,503
Zach Newkirk: 4 Games $85,669
I got to “Iron Horse” for the first DD, but couldn’t make the connection. I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it.
VJ Thanks for the fantastic video interview.
At last we have our six time winner for 2021 in Brian Chang. The last time was Andrew Pau and then pranjal and Hunter plus Lisa Schlitt. Congrats to Brian on his win today and to Stephen on getting final.
That Daily Double cost Gabriela the game.
Too bad, because with “alpha” and “pack” in the clue, it was definitely solvable.
Actually, what would have happened is that even Gabriela gets the DD right she will be in the lead, but she would have lost anyway because she missed FJ!
No, it cost her the lead, but certainly not the game.
Congrats to Brian who won his 6th game. We finally have a 6 day champion since Mackenzie who won her 6th game back in February. Tomorrow is going to be exciting because whoever wins will join Zach to play as co-champ on Thursday.
