In the first 3 games of the 2023 Jeopardy! High School Reunion, only one contestant got Final Jeopardy! right. We picked the World Leaders clue as the hardest of those 3 clues. We’d go so far as to say that some of these students’ parents may not have known this if they were little kids in the 70s and 80s. Things picked up on Thursday with a pop art clue that produced a triple solve and that was the easiest clue of the week by far. On Friday, the clue was no “wonder” to 2 of the players.
