And if it was the Chivalry mention you didn't get it was not that long ago that the response was used as part of the extra clues in the weekly poll. J! likes to use the name.econgator wrote:He ran that section of clues (click on the Game Scores link at the bottom -- makes it easier to see).Bamaman wrote:I didn't get it, what were you talking about?

Jill Bunzendahl-Chimka #4 is in the archive: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=1163
The performance in National Book Awards was embarrassing since there was nothing obscure or uncommon in there.

Jill's game #5 is in to complete her regular run: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=1456
The FJ segment show shows how to go out in style where YouTube can do it better justice than just the archive.
The J! round shows what can happen even to a 4-time champ when the buzzer timing is a hair off and you draw a double dose of very capable opponents. Marc would have been a champ in many other games, but lady luck got him in this one.

I wonder if Guadeloupe would be accepted as the correct response to Final? (Originally had Fr. Guiana, but realized later that Guadeloupe is further west). It is considered a region of France, but if the overseas regions are counted, there are 27, not 22.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
Are the regions of France comparable to U.S. states? If they are, then that seems like a strange clue, because I don't think they would ever ask which of the 48 U.S. states extends farthest West. (Which would obviously be Hawaii, of course)dhkendall wrote:Spoiler

Yeah, but look at a map of France. It's pretty obvious.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
But that's the thing, what does this "map of France" show, all the regions, or just the European ("metropolitan") ones? (I'd guess that many, if not most, "maps of France" just show metropolitan France.) If I understand things correctly, regions like French Guiana and Reunion are as much part of France as Alaska and Hawaii are part of the US, but many people don't seem to make that distinction, probably because they are much further away from France than AK and HI are from the US (and AK is also North American as well - HI is, I believe Oceanian, but it seems to be as far away from most of Oceania as it is from California.)alietr wrote:Yeah, but look at a map of France.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
This episode originally aired a week before my tape day. For 10 years now I've assumed that the FJ was just unusually hard. But now the TOM seems perfectly obvious, even if it isn't necessarily particularly helpful.
Not a perfect clue by any means, but very slightly less hard than it looks at first glance.

The westernmost region of France would be one that extends close to Britain. Hence, Brittany.

Nord-Pas de Calais is the closest region of France to Britain. Remember the 1940 evacuation of Dunkirk? There's a reason it was done from Dunkirk and not the region of Brittany.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Actually, in most cases the regions (states, provinces, districts) of a country were established before the country itself. The USA being a prime example.
