Final Jeopardy: Civil War People (4-27-20)

There were 2 reversals in the 4/27/2020 Jeopardy! game:

WHO MADE THAT ($400) Here’s a switch… the game called “Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020” – Matt was docked for his “Sega” answer. Sarah got it with Nintendo. The judges decided to accept Matt’s response and he was awarded $400 right before the chat.

POTPOURRI ($1000) Check out this two-word boat item as it goes soaring through the air; I like the cut of yours – Sarah had to give back $1,000 for her “jib” answer. It was supposed to be the two-word “flying jib”. Alex felt that he somehow misled her so she did not get a wrong response penalty.

Here are 5 more triple stumpers from the game:

POTPOURRI ($800) 15% of a U.S. ton is this many pounds

STARTS WITH “Z” ($800) Literally meaning “golden”, it’s the basic monetary unit of Poland

($1000) Native to Austria & Germany, it’s the instrument being played here
Note: this is not the tune played on the show. I had to improvise. If you don’t know the correct response, start the video from the beginning.

GENERAL HOSPITAL ($400) A code of this color is widely used to call out a medical emergency all over the facility

HOLY SMOKE ($1600) Some religious ceremonies feature one of these smoky incense carriers

Answers to the Sneak Peek clues — UH, PHRASING…
($400) Meaning to “achieve a goal”, “there’s more than one way” to do this, but why bring the feline into it
($800) An idiom suggests not doing this “to spite your face”; why would you even consider it?!
($1200) I’ve heard it said, “don’t throw the baby out with” this liquid; what is the matter with you people?
($1600) Actors don’t like “good luck” before shows, but this 3-word alternative seems awfully painful
($2000) This 2-word term for someone deemed attractive yet chaotic has origins in warm foods served in the 19th century
