    Mattea’s chatter was down, but, I think that that was simply due to opportunity. Being quick on the buzzer is to her advantage. In the English lit category, which was Vernon’s wheelhouse, she took a few of them.

    I got FJ wrong. I said “Luxembourg”.

    For the “fight or flight” hormone, they used the brand name. I don’t know if I can put the generic name without busting the TS admonition.

    As far as the land grant question, I had an alternative term, which is more simple. I wonder if they would have taken it. I just found out that they are not synonymous.

      Jason, I think putting in the generic name in your comment would be fine since it was not the answer to the clue.

      I meant to mention yesterday that I got the singer / songwriter for “And When I Die” because it is one of my favorite songs (the BS&T cover with David Clayton Thomas on lead).

      • Jason says:

        So, it’s “epinephrine”. That’s what anyone in medicine calls it. NO ONE says the answer they used.

        For the land grant, I said “farming”. I should have thought of the MANY universities!!

  2. Rick says:

    I went with Monaco in FJ. Actually, if it wasn’t right, it sure wasn’t a bad guess.

  3. Louis says:

    I am happy that Lana from Southington went on jeopardy today but I am also impressed Mattea won again. 70k is a lot since Roger and James set one day records with that sort of win.

    I would definitely want to visit Monaco one day with my family. Would you consider that as your vacation destination vj?

    • VJ says:

      No, Lou, at my age and given the current state of my health, I would have to say I missed the yacht on that vacation 🤣🤣🤣

    • Michael says:

      I did a day trip there from Nice. Enjoyed walking around and some good meals.
