Never mind. I guess Jeopardy did run on Thanksgiving and you guys saw the episode even if I did not. TheJeopardyFan.com had the FJ clue/answer so the game will continue as if a day off never happened. Five games this week. Clues will be posted here NLT tomorrow for anyone needing to catch up.

WEEK 11 — ONE asterisk *
35. American Writers. In a twist of irony, he accidentally set fire to some 300 acres of woods at Fair Haven Pond near the Concord River in 1844.
* 36. Americana. It’s the official fruit of the District of Columbia.  *
37. Presidential Irony. 1 of the 2 Presidents who offered Daniel Webster the VP slot; he declined both, thinking the job went nowhere.
38. 1980s Movies. Ebert: this film “works as science fiction, it’s sometimes as scary as a monster movie & at the end…not a dry eye in the house.”
39. Olympic Cities. Of the 4 “M” cities that consecutively hosted Summer Olympics in the 20th century, these 2 aren’t national capitals.

Thanks, @saber5055, for posting those so quickly!  As I suspected, not a good week for me — 2/5.

@Browncoat: I don't have your score for last week. Would you repost for me, please? It's Week 10 that is missing. Ten people have dropped out so odds of winning a prize are getting better for the regular players. Just sayin'.

As always, those late to the game can still get in and catch up by playing the posted clues. I have the answers if any one needs to check. Just ask!

Ooops, my bad!  I was 3/5 for week 10.

WEEK 12 — THREE asterisks ***
56. American Authors. The 1877 novel “Garth”, about a New Hampshire family cursed by an ancestor’s crime, is by Julian, son of this novelist.
* 57. Actresses. In 1997 she became the first to win an Oscar for a film directed by her husband; her brother-in-law produced the film.  *
58. Historical Firsts. In a tribute with no precedent, the band played this at the Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard on Sept. 13, 2001.
* 59. Catholicism. A liturgical year begins on the first Sunday of Advent, which is the Sunday closest to the feast day of this “first apostle.”  *
* 60. The Old West. On Oct. 27, 1881 this town’s local newspaper reported on “a day when blood flowed as water. ” Tombstone, Arizona  *

 

Note that clue numbers have been off in previous FJ clue posts; the site will not allow me to go back and fix them. This set of clues is numbered correctly.
