    At least now this has been a clue used in a previous jeopardy game from a former jeopardy contest. So happy to see Amy tied with David Madden and Jason Zuffranieri. It’s the first time seeing Amy betting 6000 on a daily double after doing 4K for a while. Congrats to Ashley also getting this right as well so I think we can end 2021 with Amy getting the longest streak so far for jeopardy. This play will be dedicated to Peter Hall.
