Here are some more clues from the 4/3/2023 Jeopardy! game. Please don’t put the answers to these clues in the comments so people who missed the game can have a chance to answer them. It is okay to refer to them by category and clue value or by part of the clue.
YOU’RE GONNA SING ($800) Pat Benatar was “running with” these in an iconic song from the 1980s; baby, take her hand, “it’ll be all right”
THE SUPERLATIVE EARTH ($800) Oddly, the highest point on this continent is a mount named for a Polish patriot who fought in the American Revolution – Hilariously, Ken Jennings wrote this article but because today’s clue says “on the continent”, the Polish patriot’s namesake mountain it is.
($1200) 5 countries border this, Earth’s largest lake
ADJECTIVE THEN NOUN ($800) Rap music until about 1985; let’s put on some Treacherous Three & kick it…
The Daily Box Scores are released at 8 pm Eastern
Sneak Peek clues — LIKE A BIRD
($200) An advocate for peace
($400) To gloat or boast; try not to “eat” it
($600) As a verb it means to peddle things for sale, especially by calling out
($800) Trying to see better? Do this and extend your neck

Dan’s guess of New Zealand for Marcus Garvey’s birthplace SHOCKED me. 😳
The first DD and FJ perplexed me no end. I did know the other 2 DDs.
Really thought someone would know the largest lake and the continent with the Polish-named mountain.
I started to criticize Sharon for not betting $2101, but then realized she had to bet enough to lock out Dan if both were correct on FJ.
I just fixed the Superlative Earth clue about the mountain named after the Polish patriot on page 2 — What I had there gave the answer away, although I thought I had changed it. Sorry to those who already saw it and for those who don’t look at those clues, here’s the link to an article Ken Jennings wrote on the topic.
None of us got FJ either, but there’s always tomorrow.
Crystal said “throwing up” during a Daily Double clue.
Disappointed show as all 3 DDs were missed resulted our first skunking since June 22, 2022 and a tough final as we got a triple stumper. I am sure William Weyser would say darn those daily doubles since the DDs and FJ were not nice to anybody.
Boy, we’re off to a “flying” start this month, but we’re just getting started. Maybe, the Daily Doubles & Final Jeopardy! will be nicer tomorrow.
Tough final to start off the week and we had a small payday of 4,199 which I think is the lowest payday of the season. Crystal is gonna get a chance to earn a lot more money tomorrow.
I hope she does.
Coincidence of the Day: The world’s largest lake may have been fresh in the mind of anyone who watched Alex Trebek’s first episode on YouTube last week. It was the answer to the $500 clue in Lakes & Rivers LINK
Thanks for the link, VJ. It was great to see the old episode. Brought back great memories! I think the world’s largest lake has been the topic of several game show questions – I remember it on The Chase and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”
Also, I thought FJ was pretty tough – requiring knowledge of eponyms, WWII and “foreign” history. That said, the Maginot Line was the only thing that seemed appropriate.
