LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN: These stories got their collective title because little Josephine Kipling insisted they be told exactly the same way each time show

We had one triple solve and one triple stumper this week, just like last week. There’s no doubt that Wednesday’s clue was the easiest but, personally, I thought Tuesday’s clue was the hardest. It’s not because I knew the triple stumper. I just think if you surveyed 15 potential contestants, more would know Friday’s Kipling title than the last name of those 4 publishing world brothers. I’d love to know how Brittany Iburg knew that one.

Jonathan Fisher put an end to Matt Amodio’s 38-game reign on Monday and continued to win every game for the rest of the week. What’s remarkable about that is we will be seeing these two fellas in the next Tournament of Champions. How cool is that?

I was hoping that Jeopardy! would put Friday’s MOVIE TITLES THROUGH PICTURES category up on its YouTube channel and they didn’t disappoint me

Here is a link to Jonathan’s Winner’s Circle video. He talks with Clue Crew Sarah about how it feels to be a 5-day champion and he says “cool” 5 times.
