Round 2 Categories: Sutter’s Fort – Tough European Capitals – A Literary Mary – Movie Common Threads – Famous Pairs – The “X” Factor

Udit finished in the lead with $16,200. Jeff was next with $12,000 and Toni was in third place with $7,800.

NONE of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.

WHAT IS WHEATIES?

In August 2015, General Mills announced that Wheaties had partnered with Fulton, a craft brewery in Minneapolis, to create a limited-edition Hefeweizen beer named HefeWheaties with one caveat: “Wheaties is not actually in the beer, but there is wheat.”

Fulton Beer is behind such other creative beer names such as “Lonely Blonde” (Pick up a Lonely Blonde) and “Worthy Adversary” (the Beer in Black Pajamas). We don’t see HefeWheaties on their website, but you can probably make your own with this Hefeweizen beer kit.

Toni wrote down General Mills. She lost her $7,700 bet and finished with $100.

Jeff thought it was Grape Nuts. He lost $3,600 and was left with $8,400.

Udit came up with Kelloggs. That cost him $8,000 and the game when he finished with $8,200. Toni let out a big “WHOA!” when she realized that Jeff was the new Jeopardy! champ. Congrats to Jeff!

Would you vote this $1600 Sutter’s Fort clue the Yukky Clue of the Week? That stuff looks like it would break your teeth!

Sarah of the Clue Crew: “Since almost everything shipped or stored had to be in barrels, the cooperage where they were made was crucial to Sutter’s enterprises, one of which was baking and exporting the tough flour and water biscuits known as ship’s bread, or this.”
