Season 35 Final Jeopardy Contest

[Fex]

I was away for a (long) weekend, and just caught up to Friday, finally! 4/5 with 1*

[Browncoat]

1/5 this week.  Yuck.  I'm going to blame the time change.  Yeah, that's it, the time change!  LOL

[saber5055]

It's that time again gang. We've been at this for one-half year. Yikes!

WEEK 27 — NO asterisk  
129. Playwrights. Before his death in 2018 at age 91, he received 4 Tony awards, a Pulitzer prize & was nominated for 4 Oscars.
130. 20th Century History. Constructed in the 1930s, it extended from La Ferte to the Rhine River, though it also had sections along the Italian frontier.
131. Novel Quotes. A boy at the end of this 1952 novel says to the main character, “Say it ain’t true, Roy.”
132. State Capitals East of the Mississippi. The last 2 letters of this city’s name are the U.S. postal abbreviation for the state that it’s the capital of.
133. 19th Century Names. In 1854 he became official musical instrument maker to Emperor Napoleon III; an instrument he invented is named for him.

Not thrilled to be below 50%.

Good for me!  Now I feel super smart.  At least until around 7:25 tomorrow night when I have no idea about FJ.

Thanks, saber.  You're the best contest runner ever!

Week 28 - 2/5

Season to date - 66/138, 9*

[saber5055]

WEEK 28 — ONE asterisk  
134. Best Picture Oscar Winners. These 2 films, recent back-to-back winners, both have 9 letter titles that end with the same 5 letters.
135. Countries of the World. Because its overseas empire was dwindling, Spain declared war on this much closer country across the water on October 22, 1859.
136. Royal Houses. Family name of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s brother Henry, whom his supporters called Henry IX of England.
137. American Authors. Alfred Hitchcock wrote, “it’s because I liked” his “stories so much that I began to make suspense films.”
*138. Holidays & Observances. This day created in the U.S. in 1872 is observed in Florida & Louisiana in January, but Maine & Alaska hold it in May.  *

[Driad]

My 3/5 has one asterisk.  I didn't know about the * because I read the question on line.  My station can't be bothered to show Jeopardy when sp*rts are happening.

[Toothbrush]

3/5 no *

[illdoc]

Week 28 (that's this week, right?): 3/5  (0 *)   Overall: 86/138   (9 *---still hoping to break double digits soon).

Week 27: 4/5, Week 28: 5/5. Woohoo!!!

[Trey]

2/5. Again.

[biakbiak]

[lb60]

Week 28: 3 for 5.

Better than last week, but still below 50%.

[Fex]

4/5, no *. I thought I was going to have a perfect week,  then along came Arbor Day  😫 I've heard of it, I guess, but I've never lived anywhere that celebrated it. 

[opus]
