wouldn’t yesterday’s and today’s FJs be considered the same category?
well, i predicted a triple stumper and surprised that two people got it.
i was rooting for Lindsay, good player and seems like a nice person. pity he chose “conservationist” (15 letters) over environmentalist (16). there was no time to count.
Only a combined Coryat of $34,200 today. Thanks for posting VJ. Jeopardy is not on tonight where I am apparently.
I wonder if this short story was the inspiration for Bizarro World in the Superman comics
Yeah I was thinking of the same thing as well with the butterfly thing. I used to read this in high school and it kind of creeps me out VJ. Laura played well but these last few weeks of two time champs need to get up to three or four day champs. We need an end to this leader curse and soon. Perhaps Zach can do it. He and Lindsey were evenly matched and Laura couldn’t keep up.
If this Zach can break the curse, he could possibly join Zach Newkirk in the next Tournament of Champions, but the producers would have to place them in separate games, because if they’re not careful enough, or if they make it to the Finals, 1 of the 2 Zachs would have to go by Zachary, in order to avoid confusion, which can work out for the winner. In 1996, 2 Michaels: Dupee & Daunt made it to the Finals in that year’s Tournament of Champions, and Michael Dupee was kind enough to change his name to Mike Dupee, in order to avoid confusion, and it worked out very well for him, because Mike won the tournament.
