Season 41 Final Jeopardy Contest

[Clanstarling]

Week 10 – November 11 – Two Asterisks
46.     *19th CENTURY AMERICA - It caused rich amusement that the name of this president, whose wife didn't allow dancing, was similar to that of a dance (James K. Polk)
47.     LITERARY MONUMENTS -  A 112-foot-tall monument in a Madrid plaza depicts a writer seated above bronze statues of these 2 characters (Don Quixote and Sancho Panza)
48.     POETRY & PLACES - It's the geographic word in the title of a Robert Burns poem about "the mountains... covered with snow... the straths & green valleys below" (Highlands)
49.     SPORTS TEAMS - Fittingly, this team was born on November 1, 1966, the day the franchise was awarded (New Orleans Saints)
50.     *20th CENTURY TRANSPORTATION - A 1947 article read, its "wings were not clipped by the Senate fishermen & ghost hunters after all" (The Spruce Goose)

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

[possibilities]

1/5. I used to be a big fan of Man of LaMancha.

Me, too. Same one.  Corn Dogs for everyone!

[Browncoat]

Oh, I forgot my asterisk!  Only the one for Friday, though.

[Mindthinkr]

3/5 with no * for me this week. 
I’ll bring some BLT finger sandwiches for all of us. I’m weird and like mustard on mine, but will make everyone’s with mayo. 

[Trey]

3/5 1*

I got Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

[Shrek]

2/5 this week, with 1*. Can't believe nobody got the Spruce Goose on Friday.

@Browncoat, I already added the asterisk (did the math 😉)

I didn't do too badly this week, 3/5 and two *

[shapeshifter]

Back to my normal 0-1 with:

Week 10: 1/5 Mon. Polk*

Apparently the Polka dance is from Bohemia and the Czech Republic.
I'd gladly sample their foods!: https://undiscoveredpathhome.com/traditional-czech-dishes-you-need-to-try-when-visiting-prague/

[Good Queen Jane]

3/5 with 1*.

 

[Bliss]

2/5 and 1*

Since I am down with a nasty cold, I'll be sending cyber food - anything you wish!

[Driad]

Week 10:  3/5 + 1 *
YTD:    33/50 + 6 *

[illdoc]

Week 10:  4/5  2* (curse the Highlands)  Overall: 24/50 (48%) 5*

[SoMuchTV]

1/5. TH only, so no *.

0/5

Looks like I’ll be sitting at the bagel table all alone. That’s ok, more for me! I decided on cinnamon raisin. (I despise raisins, but for some reason I don’t mind them in bagels. Although I will pull them out if they get too aggressive. As in, visible.)

[M. Darcy]

2/5

[possibilities]

I totally overthought the sports question. When I saw "the franchise" I thought of "the vote" and I was trying to figure out who got "the franchise" on that date, and if there was a team that was created at the same time. 

This has been a hell of a couple of weeks.

WEEK 10 (11 NOV): 4/5, 2*.

[opus]

1/5

[Grundoon59]

@Bliss - I am still in recovery mode myself - lots of rest and fluids seems to be helping but I am tired of being a good host for this bug.  I got 2/5 with one * thanks to Polk jumping in my brain at the very last second (not sure if Mrs. Polk would count that as dancing).  Please add my virtual food to that of Bliss and order whatever you would like!

[Trey]

I too am suffering from the dreaded cold virus, first one in years. Last time I thought I had a cold it turned out to be covid.

So I will send lots of chicken soup to my fellow sufferers and anyone else who just likes chicken soup.

[Browncoat]

This cold is really making the rounds!  I hope all of us get well soon!

[Good Queen Jane]

We’ve obviously been failing to keep the social distance from each other in this thread. I’ve come down with  the cold now too. The Moderators may put us in quarantine!

I couldn't laugh and give you (long distance) hugs too.

So you, @Bliss, @Grundoon59, @Trey, take care of yourselves, and have some of this chicken soup.

[helpmerhonda]

3/5, 2* for me!

I recommend we all stay six posts apart.
