This is what my week was, also. I remember all of those questions. Still 0/5 so it doesn’t change my score! I got stuck on “Bianca” for “white”.

Well, seeing Wednesday's FJ makes me think I must have seen a different episode that day. I am 100% sure I watched Jeopardy that day, but have absolutely no memory of that final jeopardy question. Don't remember what FJ I saw on Wednesday, though, and can't say for sure if I would have known Bhutan. Another rough week with three asterisks. Alas, it was zero for me.

1/5 for Curie. Tough week with three TS!

I spent the entire think music wondering if I should go with the obvious choice of Marie Curie, or Pierre Curie, who also shared the Nobel prize but maybe is a less obvious choice. I settled on Marie (didn't want to talk myself out of the answer by thinking it is "too easy"), but I am really surprised that they used that clue for Final Jeopardy.

1/5, with Morticia saving me from another shutout week.

Me too! Well, I immediately recognized they meant Chopin's nocturne, failed to do any sort of math, and then guessed Austria for who knows what reason.

I guess I haven't been paying much attention, because I have no idea who that is. I could tell by the music that I was supposed to know him, but I don't.

0/5 this week :(

Me, during FJ: Oh, of course the movie is Casablanca *pictures the airport scene* Random neurons firing in my brain: Casablanca=We'll always have Paris Me: The answer is Paris! And then of course once the answer of Lisbon is revealed...obviously they aren't trying to get to Paris, they are trying to escape the war! I did seem to have enough neurons firing properly to realize that they were not looking for the movie title or departure city. Not that it helped me overall.

1/5 - gaslight was an instaget. So close with Icarus - maybe a half point for "Daedalus' son"?

Today I said Daedalus' son...I blanked on the name "Icarus". I give myself half points. Mythology is not a strong area for me, and most of what I know came from watching Kaos (and peripheral googling that came from Kaos to fact check/gain more info).

1/5* - got Polk fairly easily, but no luck the rest of the week.

2/5 - started the week off strong at least. You know, on Thursday, my brain thought "bullet proof vests" but my mouth said "Teflon". I did know that teflon is not what is in the vests, but couldn't pull the right word out of my brain.

0/5 this week.

I guessed "snail". Then realized the antenna things aren't ears. But I couldn't get the image of the snail out of my head to come up with anything different.
