I guessed The Huns for the final jeopardy clue. I was wrong of course. I got Monday’s final jeopardy question which was Wardrobe as in the lion, the witch and the wardrobe..
I got FJ. I don’t know if I knew it from WarCraft, or another game, or from where. I said “Horde”, then “Golden Horde” right after.
I don’t know if David used the right strategy, wagering to cover only if Amy got it wrong. At least Amy made the correct wager.
Another close match with some first-rate players. Amy is so quick and smart.
I came up with Mongols for the final. I’m not quite old enough to recall what happened in 1395. Only stumper I could get was the 3-letter link to a cog.
One of my dear friends turns 85 next month. He majored in history in college. i tell people he got straight As because he was alive when it all happened.
Is Great Horde acceptable for the Final?
I’m not completely sure,Albert,but the only way I could see them rejecting it is if *colorful * was in the clue. It wasn’t, in this case.
What a great game, and with some fierce competition in Double Jeopardy. Well, I came up with the Mongolians for FJ so one could say that I should at least receive some credit for it.
If they had seen the film where Halle Berry plays Dorothy Dandridge, they would have known the last name of the “Stormy Weather” dancing brothers $2000 clue. The one named Harold was Dorothy Dandridge’s first husband who abandoned her and their brain-damaged child.
I’m sorry to say I forgot their names, despite watching a documentary special on them on TCM.
