Here are some more clues from the 2/3/2023 Jeopardy! game. Please don’t put the answers to these clues in the comments so people who missed the game can have a chance to answer them. It is okay to refer to them by category and clue value or by part of the clue.

($400) Open a bottle to toast this second city of Ireland, with a name meaning “marsh”

Sneak Peek clues — THAT’S A CRIME!
($200) Well, it used to be anyway! As of 2023, if you could cross the street safely in California, this was no longer a ticketable offense
($400) It’s knowingly lying after taking the oath to tell the truth in court, but it also applies to lying on a driver’s license application
($600) Those Allstate ads with Dean Winters in this role are funny, but it’s also the crime of maliciously injuring a person’s body
($800) Using a baseball bat or brass knuckles to inflict injury can lead to a charge of ADW, short for this
($1000) It’s time to document this signature crime; it’s also called false making & in Montana, can earn a 10-year stretch

A comment about the other day. Jeopardy gave away the ending of The Hustler bur I never saw The Hustler. I knew about Newman and Gleason but I never knew the ending. Bad move by Jeopardy.
Also, Jeopardy once gave away the ending of Psycho. I didn’t mind that too much because the sitcom Happy Days gave away the ending of Psycho.
I’m trying to recall what was another clue that J! spoiled the ending for – Anna Karenina, maybe? It was something Russian or German. They are well-skilled at it.
I think I remember something about the Anna karenina ending given away on a Jeopardy show.
Has Jeopardy ever given away the ending to the Sixth Sense or does Jeopardy only give away the endings to old movies?
It’s not fair to give away the endings because many young people watch the show and haven’t had the opportunity to see those old movies yet.
Of the 2 challengers who might have won that game, Ricky in particular gave too many wrong answers throughout the show to avoid a runaway. (One bad guess by me lost $1000 and an eventual win.)
I thought FJ was a semi-softball.
I guessed Nuremberg Trial List on the final. I thought that one was kinda tough.
Mimi Reinhard would have had to have been born in 1915 if she died in 2022 at the age of 107. Good thing this wasn’t a math category.
You’re right, Joseph. lol. I copied the wrong date from her wiki entry. I didn’t notice it was the approx. year of her first marriage. For some reason, they put that in there before her born and died dates. It’s fixed now.
