Yes, December 8, 1980 for Lennon. The Shah of Iran died in 1980, too, but of cancer. As for Khomeini, he died of a heart attack in 1989.
I thought all those pauses Tafari was taking would prevent the board from being finished, and it did.
Good game, able players. Delaney looked petrified throughout the show but she was incredibly poised and knowledgeable. Tafari had an odd habit of sounding as if he were guessing on a lot of his correct responses. I dumbly said George Moscone instead of Milk for Final; I lived in the SF area that year and should have known it, especially with that closet clue. Not a good night for me; missed the DDs and all of the stumpers except the ATL medical college. (If anyone’s curious, Lennon was murdered in 1980.)
It was quite a competitive game, and Delaney emerged as the new Jeopardy champion. Congratulations Delaney! As for FJ, I also went with John Lennon.
The first thing I thought of on that clue about what duelists demand was the Rolling Stones song 🤣
