It would have been hilarious if somebody wrote PRINCE HARRY for the Final.
Well, I would say that any guess is better than no guess at all.
History/monarchies not my thing. I gave the Dutch William a brief thought but went with the Conqueror instead.
Those stumpers were all brain-crushers, except maybe “The Lost Symbol” one.
Ouch–Nick was 35 years too late with Secretariat. I was down near the rail at Belmont in 1973 when Big Red won the Triple Crown by 31 lengths. And the longshot in the 5-horse field barely nosed out another for 2nd place at the wire, costing me a winning $2 exacta bet. Earlier, I lost 2 bucks on Secretariat when he was upset by a horse named Onion. During the post parade before that race, I had a sneaking suspicion that Onion would make me cry!
A tough FJ, and I never heard of William The Orange until now.
Oh excuse me, ‘William Of Orange’.
Just like how we begin the week, we end the week with another triple stumper as we got a tough final.
Other than yesterday, this was a hard week for Final Jeopardy!.
Two clues in this game were recently seen on Master Minds —
1. the kind of bananas that are cooked; and
2. a variation of the Official National Languages Daily Double (they wanted the “R” language in the last round)
I definitely noticed the “R” language for this reason. Coincidence?
If I’m not mistaken Sony owns Game Show Network too. Probably some sharing of writers or a clue bank between Master Minds and Jeopardy. Just a thought.
