saber5055 March 23, 2019 Author Share March 23, 2019 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. * Link to comment
Driad March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment

Fex March 24, 2019 Share March 24, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment
Good Queen Jane March 25, 2019 Share March 25, 2019 4/5 with *. I did much better with Jeopardy this week than I did with my NCAA Basketball pool. 1 1 Link to comment
