Ah, I said Japan. Oh well!
And, again, as I said several days ago, I give no pity to poor FJ wagers. Elizabeth didn’t have to do anything, and she would have finished in second. Instead, she makes a $1000 error, finishing in third, That’s an avoidable response.
Did anybody guess the United States thinking it may be a trick question? My guess was Indonesia.
Totally guessed right on FJ. Also not sure how I knew the name of the Alaskan sound where the oil spill occurred. The brain can do strange things. Like 3 people not knowing the 7th letter of the English alphabet.
What did Ken mean when, after Ray had his hand up in a gesture after winning final jeopardy, that Ray “held the show up” or something
@Dave, after Ken told Ray that the lagoon was Venice (not the Blue Grotto, as Ray guessed), Ken said they won’t take any points away for that. Ray put his hand up and Ken said: “You just got to show off for a minute” (presumably for getting the volcano right).
I was happy to get this final, I knew Venice is on a lagoon but I thought the volcano was Mount Vesuvius. Good game though.
I guessed Indonesia, same as Neal. It has 9 UNESCO World Heritage sites at the present time. Turkey has 19 .
Well too bad Neal didn’t nail his daily doubles but I am happy Ray won again. I hope ray makes a streak next week.
