saber5055 October 20, 2018 Author Share October 20, 2018 WEEK 6 Final Jeopardy questions: 21. America in the 1930s. In March 1933 CBS Radio’s Robert Trout said, “The President wants to come into your home…for a little” this. 22. The Solar System. Features on this body include Tombaugh Regio & Sleipnir Fossa, named for a horse that carried Odin to the Underworld. 23. World Cities. The northernmost city with a population over 5 million, it was founded in 1703 & its name was changed 3 times in the 20th Century. 24. Characters in Children’s Lit. This winged character from an early 20th century work is so named “because she mends the pots and kettles.” 25. Sports. A low center of gravity is a key to success in this sport with moves including gaburi-yori & uwate-dashinage. 1 Link to comment
saber5055 October 20, 2018 Author Share October 20, 2018 Congrats to all of you Perfect Five Week people! Maybe that will be another prize category, Most Fives in the Season. We've already got High, Low, Most Asterisks and Potluck (random number draw). Another prize category would be cool. "Yes, that's a great idea Saber!" said everyone nowhere. 7 Link to comment

peeayebee October 20, 2018 Share October 20, 2018 Wasn't there a clue yesterday about the I.N.F. treaty? Well, today Trump announced that the US is withdrawing from it. Is this the Jeopardy curse? 4 Link to comment

This could be part of The Jeopardy Curse. If true, I want to volunteer to write some clues. I'll do it for free. In fact, I'll pay the show to let me write some curse clues. 4 Link to comment
Sharpie66 October 21, 2018 Share October 21, 2018 I don’t know if I should count Friday’s as correct. I am watching it with my mom today, and I got stuck on wrestling but she filled in sumo before I could come up with it. So, I probably should not count it in my wins for the week. So, 4/5 this week! 2 Link to comment
zoey1996 October 21, 2018 Share October 21, 2018 4/5 this week. 15/30 with one asterisk for the season. 2 Link to comment

Good Queen Jane October 22, 2018 Share October 22, 2018 Week 6: 1/5. Back in contention for the worse score! I am going to be out of the country for the next two weeks, so I won't be able to participate. But I will check the clues when I get back and bring myself up to date. See you all in November! 3 Link to comment

And when you come back you will kick butt in those Jeopardy categories "Metropolis by the Acropolis" and "Athens Fashions." Can't wait! (Color me jealous.) 2 Link to comment

Fex October 26, 2018 Share October 26, 2018 I was away for an extra-long weekend, finally all caught up. 3/5 for last week. Tinker Bell was the kind of answer I am really mad at myself for missing. Seems so obvious, and it's in a category I should do well in. Booo, Fex. 1 Link to comment

I was tied with you this week until my specialty category of birds plus me being half Scottish gave me two, two, two points to end the week. (TM Doublemint Twins) 5 Link to comment
saber5055 October 27, 2018 Author Share October 27, 2018 WEEK 7 Final Jeopardy Clues - One asterisk clue 30 26. Places in the News. In a hint of the future, in 1973 Marjorie Post gave it to the U.S. government as a warm-weather presidential retreat, but it was returned. 27. Old English Literature. This “creature of evil, grim and fierce, was quickly ready, savage and cruel, and seized from their rest thirty thanes.” 28. African Cities. Also a judicial capital, this aptly named city is known for an annual rose festival that began in 1976. 29. State Birds. The 2-word name of this black & orange or black & golden state bird derives in part from the Latin for “golden.” * 30. European History. Legend says this, weighing 336 lbs., came from the Holy Land & Kenneth MacAlpin brought it to Perthshire c. 840. * Link to comment
