A good game for the first half. 11 triple stumpers is a lot. In the regular game of jeopardy, there were not that many triple stumpers. How many did you find in Lawrence’s second game, VJ?
Lou, you can go count that yourself, can’t you? I’m using up all my energy doing 3 recaps a day over here
I meant the number of TS. Without knowing, I would guess that 11 is a high number, although, at the same time, that is over 60 clues. It just seemed to me that the first round of the first game had a LOT of “dead air”. Thanks for the TOC update.
Well, that’s what I came up with Jason — 11 in each game. In my estimation, 11 is a high number. 7 is about average
Hey VJ, did you count the triple stumpers in the first game? I became more and more amazed at the stuff they didn’t know. I mean, my junior year in college (not at an Ivy), I had 41.5 credit hours over two semesters, and I felt on fire with knowledge. I still look back on that very fondly.
As for the second game, I reflexively thought “rose” for a split second, but, then, recalled rose is “Prunus”. I SHOULD have known it, as we used to have a Venus Flytrap, but I said “water lily”. Oh well!
The question is, will this winner be entered in the TOC?
Jason, I’m not sure what you mean but I don’t add up the stumpers because I might miss one or two. On this double recap, I posted 11 triple stumpers from each game: 2 from each game on the first page and 9 from each game on Page 2.
“The question is, will this winner be entered in the TOC?” – Jason
The answer is: “We are absolutely going to invite the eventual winner of the J!NCC to compete in the ToC,” Michael Davies on J!Buzz
My recollection was so faulty! Rose is, quite unsurprisingly, Rosa species. Prunus is cherries, plums, nectarines, apricots, almonds, and many others.
