THE PRINCESS BRIDE ($600) There were riots in this world capital in 1966 when its Princess Beatrix wed a German diplomat who’d been a member of Hitler Youth

GREEK GODDESSES ($2000) Give a whistle for her, the muse of epic poetry

ONCE-POPULAR FIRST NAMES ($800) In the early 1950s it was patriotic in China to give the name Yuanchao, meaning “aid” this peninsula where China was fighting

($200) Sorry, everyone! I’m on the diet known as O.M.A.D., short for this; I only eat at 5 p.m.
($400) How did you know that “petit” this means “breakfast” in French without knowing that the word on its own means “lunch”
($600) I bailed on lunch with a big group; I’m this type of person mentioned in the subtitle of Susan Cain’s book “Quiet” this
($800) I told you lunch wasn’t happening because it’s this Jewish day of atonement & I’m fasting
($1000) I just found out my wisdom teeth are in this 8-letter condition; they’re jammed up so I can’t eat lunch

    Any chance the remaining clues can be uncovered in the 27 dresses category? Is there a website for that?

    • VJ says:

      No, Iris. No one saw the clues, so they can’t put them up somewhere. Jeopardy! just uses them in other games.

    I tried to watch the 7:30 one, but they showed Wheel of Fortune instead.

    Best wishes VJ, my prayers are with you at this time

  3. Jacob Ska says:

    Carmela congratulations. Hope you make 5 wins.

  4. DC says:

    Sending Best Wishes your way VJ

    • VJ says:

      Thank you, DC, and thanks again, Lou.

      I thought I was going to like that Once-Popular First Names category today, but it wasn’t all that. Good for Regan for pulling up that “Roman” girls name!

      I got a kick out of the Failure to Lunch category.

  5. Lou says:

    Carmela is definitely looking good to win her fourth game and she is automatically qualified for the tournament of champions given her playing style. Regan didn’t have any rhythm going for her but glad this triple solve started the week off strong. By the way, VJ good luck on your procedure.

  6. Richard Corliss says:

    Keep it going Carmela.
