    You may need to edit the first daily double in the second round. It shows the same as the final jeopardy.

    I really enjoy reading the recaps. It’s one of the highlights in my day reading them.

      So happy to know you enjoy the recaps. Thanks for that, too!

    Congrats to Paul on his third win. It seems that he might actually win his fourth game next week. But so far we haven’t had any triple solves this week.
