    FJ was tough, but my intuition told me it might be Verne.

    The Friday Fatigue theory (5th taping of the day) didn’t affect Cris a bit today.

    I said “inhabited” for the Goldilocks Zone, but that’s not quite the same as habitable.

    • VJ says:

      I never considered Dumas. I knew both Dumas (father and son) were buried in Paris. Verne was around the same age and good friends with the son.

      P.S. I saw your post on the John Sebastian album, Howard. What a great keepsake!

    By the way, I like it when the Jeopardy game starts up with the curtain opening as it brings back some nostalgia regarding the original Jeopardy games that were hosted by Art Fleming.

  3. Lou says:

    This was a good game and Cris made it look too easy. Happy to see him winning despite not getting final. He will have a good month off to rest and practice his knowledge.

  4. Rick says:

    All I could come up with was Bram Stoker in FJ. Of course, Stoker didn’t begin writing novels until some years later. Then again, none of the contestants got it right either.

    We end the week with a triple stumper.
