Seems to me Amar botched his wager and a 5th win. Steve was pretty locked into betting $13001. Amar of course had to hope Steve missed FJ. He could have wagered $2201, which would have locked out Abby if both he and she got FJ right and she was all in. They both missed it, and as it played out he’d have won handily with $11,199. Costly decision.
Surprised no one knew the Krasinski film. The legal definition term was easy. I know only one K-Pop band, and that was the stumper answer. The walled city in Canada was fairly obvious. Well, maybe only because we visited it during the 1976 Olympics.
@Howard, or maybe you remember history lessons about the walled city and Benedict Arnold in 1775
I did not, but thank you for enlightening me.
I was beginning to like Steve especially after the story about his parents and their bad cooking. He gave me the impression that he was the type of person who calls it like he sees it. 🤣 I like people like that. They’re fun to be around and listen to. Too bad he lost imo. He seemed fairly knowledgeable too.
The researchers also found out that Mendel had an extraordinarily large brain.
Check out the big brain on Greg 🙂
He was no pea brain 🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t checked how much Gregor’s brain weighed, but, George Gordon, Lord Byron, had a brain that weighed 82.2 ounces – that’s more than 5 pounds!
Nikola Tesla? Well, not a chance as he was born some 30 years later. Actually, I went with Charles Darwin which wasn’t too bad of a guess in my opinion. Anyways, it was a fun game nevertheless.
And we got another triple stumper as today’s Final is also tough. One more triple stumper and we will have losing week in the Final.
I zoned on FJ. I first said “Beethoven”, and it took several seconds for me to say “Oh, scientist!” I then said Lister, and was wrong anyhow! Maybe Abby has some more life in her.
I got a little more than half the TS.
