    Good match with several lead changes. All 3 DDs were gettable, none more so than the last one that doubled Emmett’s score. “Pilgrimage” all but gave it away.

    A little surprised no one took a crack at the Japanese emperor.

    The FJ was tricky, but it dawned on me quickly that Einstein lived in Princeton and died in his seventies in 1955, so that would have been my guess. Not familiar with that photo, though.

    Congrats Martha on being the big winner today! This was a good final today!

  3. Rick says:

    That photo was quite unbecoming of such an esteemed physicist like Einstein. Anyways, I went with Winston Churchill.

  4. Sam in Seattle says:

    Glad to see one of “our locals” make good. Probably a special treat for Ken as well.

    During the chat, Martha mentioned that she appeared on Jeopardy 50 years ago when it was hosted by Art Fleming and she won $40 and a set of encyclopedias.
