Final Jeopardy

Final Jeopardy for 23 June 2008. J-Archive.

Last night’s Final Jeopardy was much easier than the previous two this week; obviously, there were only nine possibilities. I figured if it were a “trick” it would be some random New England state and I’d just be guessing; I instead narrowed it to one of two and got it right.

I’m not quite sure how “New Hampshire” was a guess, but who knows her reasoning. A quick search shows it outlawed slavery in 1857, so I suppose it wasn’t that far off. For me, though, it made sense to pick one of the southernmost Union states.

Mark isn’t shutting out his opponents but he’s gotten two tough Final Jeopardy questions correct this week and has a ton of money.

Okay, I’m going to do commentary now — and I’ll fill in the missed couple of weeks eventually. The second straight day with a not-so-hard game and an impossible Final Jeopardy (for me, at least); again Mark gets it right. Congratulations to Josh, who writes the frequently hilarious Comics Curmudgeon, on a good showing.
