    Don’t know how I pulled this one out . . . just a good semi-educated guess, I suppose Being one of the first autopsies, I guessed it would be way back. Jesus of Nazareth came to mind, but I pretty much knew there had never been an autopsy performed. Julius Caesar was my next thought, since he was attacked by several people all at once, and 23 stab wounds would make sense. I had nothing better, so I stuck with that. It’s my eighth “skunk” for 2020, a personal best. “Skunk” is my terminology for any Final Jeopardy! triple-stumper for which I knew the correct response within the 20-second period.

    Anybody have an idea how many more new Jeopardy! shows we’ll see before summer re-runs start?

    Tough FJ today. This could be the last triple stumper of the season.

  3. JP says:

    The easiest ones are the ones you know.

  4. Louis says:

    The reversal worked in Zach’s favor. But still this final jeopardy should have been a triple solve if the hint pointed out about that roman leader being attacked in the senate chamber. I doubt bram stoker was stabbed 23 times.

    • William Weyser says:

      If all 3 contestants thought about a famous historic figure who was stabbed to death, then we would have gotten the Triple Solve, instead of the Triple Stumper.

      • Lou says:

        Exactly, and since Jennifer is a history professor she should have known it. I mean any students studying Roman history would definitely know this.

        • VJ says:

          Why is it that no matter how many times it is pointed out to you, you still keep assuming that the contestants should know something that was not in the clue. There were no hints in the clue about the Romans.

          A couple of others I can think of off the top of my head that died by stabbing — Marat, Thomas a Becket. Also, just because a person teaches a certain subject does not mean that person knows everything in the world about it.
