Grundoon59 September 19, 2021 Share September 19, 2021 Well I did my own version of "piddle, twiddle and resolve" to try to reach the answers this week but I knew it wasn't John Adams this time around (although he did pop up in my life this week when I was leading Constitution Day quizzes for the students at the small career training school where I am the Registrar. Not only was he one of the answers but I referenced "1776" as one of my favorite musicals while trying to entertain the students by dancing/singing badly to snippets from "Hamilton" - don't ask exactly why but it got the students to participate in the quiz). I managed 4/5 - I remembered learning about the synagogue from a long ago visit to Newport, I flubbed the science question by focusing too much on the word and not the year, I got from Carroll to Tolkien in the nick of time, couldn't come up with any other name besides Malala and knew Jackson from too much early American history over the years. For food for the table, I offer up a Puffy Corn Omelet since I was still able to score fresh corn from the Farmers Market yesterday. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122010-season-38-final-jeopardy-contest/page/2/#findComment-7013660
