The final Jeopardy clue was misleading. William Henry Harrison is considered to be the first president to come from Ohio, although unlike the other presidents, was not born in Ohio. Knowing that President Harrison was elected in 1840, I knew this answer was likely not the one Jeopardy was looking for but rather President Grant, the first born in Ohio and the first of seven native-born Ohioans to serve as president.
I wasn’t sure Grant was from Ohio, but I quickly did the math and concluded someone born around 1820 and in the military would be the one, so it wasn’t that difficult.
Thought someone would know the big lizard, the May product for the teacher, and the red/blue Roman. Pretty easy. Did not expect them to know hockey legend Stevie Y. He was a big-time goal scorer.
When Double Jeopardy started, Kevin selected the first clue because the “last correct response breaks the tie.”
A freebie for FJ tonight, but we’ll see what tomorrow will bring.
Thank you, found also a picture on j-archive of what was on the video on Jeopardy, that cacao bean with pod inside!! Amazing!!
Thanks again! Always thought the beans were chocolate color.
Rosemarie, your comment went into moderation because it has a hyperlink in it. That happens with all links until I get a chance to make sure somebody’s not trying to post a link to how their relative earns $600K a month or any other spammy stuff š¤£
Tonight, Nov. 20, 23: Under category A Matter of Taste was a yellow fruit or vegetable that on the video was shown opened and this white core appeared and the fruit or vegetable contained caffeine. I am curious, what was the answer and the question? Please advise, thank you.
Here’s the clue, Rosemarie:
A MATTER OF TASTE ($800) Cacao beans, the source of chocolate, aren’t sweet; they contain this bitter popular stimulant
WHAT IS CAFFEINE?
