This week featured the last 4 quarterfinals of the 2023 Jeopardy! High School Reunion and the first of 3 semifinal matches. Two players got the final clue right in 3 quarterfinal games. Both FJ! players would have been right on Thursday but for the time factor. As one might expect, the final clue in the semifinal game was a bit harder and only got one correct response. I’m at a loss as to how to pick the easiest and the hardest of this group of clues. I wondered how many of them would have been triple solves in the regular games. Definitely not Friday’s, as many adults said they never heard of the book!
