Season 41 Final Jeopardy Contest

[Bliss]

2/5 and 1*

Trying out a new recipe for apple brownies. Mr Bliss will taste-test to make sure they're edible before I bring them to our cyber party 😉

[Mindthinkr]

0/5 this week, but I’m blaming the fact that I had 3 root canals in one sitting and then complications. I can barely eat, but I’ll contribute some Jota which is soft and easy to eat. 

 

[Trey]

0/5 for me too and I don't even have @Mindthinkr's root canal excuse. 

[Shrek]

Yet another 0/5 for me. 

[zoey1996]

Week 25 0/5, no*

YTD 39/125, six*

I knew Mondrian, but got stuck on Miro and couldn't move past!

Kind of tired of bagels and doughnuts, how about a zero-shaped bundt cake?

The correct response was Cleveland/Wilson. (Not that I got it right!)

Week 25:  2/5 (Th, F)

YTD:  59/125, 9* (47%)

OY! What a maroon! I seemed to have taken the "answer" from the clue instead of the answer. 

I'll change it immediately. Thanks for the correction.

Ouch. 0/5. Another at the doughnut table 🍩 and also without the root canal excuse.

Can't believe I didn't think to google this for my one FJ: Mondrian Cake!

1/5, no *.  No idea why Mondrian came into my brain, but I'll take it.  As long as I can have some of that cake!

Well, apparently I can have two slices! I'm not even going to try to fix it, I'm sure I'd just make it worse.

[opus]

1/5. But not Mondrian. So no cake?

[30 Helens]

1/5

Since my lone correct response was due to a fortunate pre-clue guess, how about some lucky shamrock pops?

I'll share.

2/5

[secnarf]

0/5 for me - too bad I burned everything Great Gatsby related from my brain; I did actually know that fact, and I knew I had heard it before, but alas, my hatred for Gatsby prevailed.

2/5 with 1*.

I’m liking the dessert choices this week. Good thing since I’m giving up sweets for Lent.

[illdoc]

Started well on Monday (asterisk to boot), but skunked the rest of the week.

Week 25: 1/5  1*    Overall: 55/125  10*

LOL... I just realized what I wrote!

I have nothing against edible anything! *wink*

Ouch...hope it's getting better now.

I hated Gatsby too, but after dismissing a couple of other choices, Zelda came to mind and viola!

[Grundoon59]

2/5 with one * - Got bookends of Monday and Friday. Zelda immediately popped into my brain along with memories of reading quite a bit of Fitzgerald in my college years - I took a bunch of American lit courses.  Appleton and Hungary got me quickly to Houdini, but I hadn't known the Ferber connection.

I should have gotten the Presidents as a history/government major, but I honestly forgot Cleveland was a Democrat.  I did get Wilson who one of my professors always used to call Tommy W. I could picture Mondrian's art but couldn't come up with the name in time.  Not a clue on the geography question.
