Final Jeopardy: 4-12 to 4-16-21

Here are the Final Jeopardy questions and answers for the week of April 12th through April 16, 2021:

Mon, Apr 12 – Correct answers: 2
OLYMPIC HOSTS: Aside from the United States, one of the 2 countries with 2 different cities that have hosted the Summer Olympics show

Tue, Apr 13 – Correct answers: 1
ASTRONOMY: As Huygens observed in 1656, a weapon in this constellation contains a nebula, one of a few that can be seen with the naked eye show

Wed, Apr 14 – Correct answers: 1

Fri, Apr 16 – Correct answers: 0
AMERICAN NAMES: One of the luminaries who drove in the “Golden Spike” in Utah in 1869 was this man who later founded a university show

It was a 1/2 type of week for the first 4 days. On Friday, it was none, which was no surprise to many. So that was the hardest clue for the players. Unlike last week, there was no triple solve and we can’t point to the easiest clue on that basis. As for me, only 2 of the FJ! clues were good to me.

    What is the title play on Blue’s Clues?

    • VJ says:

      Do you think they would have named the category Drew’s Clues if it wasn’t for the fact that it rhymes with Blue’s Clues. Otherwise, they would have likely gone with something like Drew Presents More Barrymores
