Three clues turned up one correct response this week. Two of them even stumped the champ, but we thought Friday’s clue was the hardest. Two players got the other two clues correct. Thursday’s clue was the easiest of those two.

After the 2-week Professors Tournament, Amy Schneider was back at the first podium and there she stayed the rest of the week. She began the week as a 13-day champ with $$536,400 in winnings and ended it as an 18-day champion with $706,800 in winnings. $170,400 is a lot of moolah, and especially in a week where she got 2 FJs wrong.
