Using J-Archive for an article

Hello everyone. I am writing an article for my personal blog where I reference a clue I saw on Jeopardy. I used the J-Archive to look up the given clue (It was about Puritanism and being happy), and would like permission to reference the clue on my blog. Is there anyone I need to cite or give permis...

Re: Fun with ABC's "Celebrity Jeopardy!"

They also mentioned THREE Daily Doubles for Triple J!. This could either give everyone a fair shot, or cause one person to put the game away VERY early. Maximum possible score: 2,683,200.

Based on the Fleming episodes available, it looks like the two-in-one Daily Doubles are unique to just the pilot.

Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali on March 6. The Jeopardy pilot was taped on March 5. Looks like that's a neg for me on my Coryat.

Re: Jeopardy! National College Championship

The format is sorta confirmed, via the official downloadable bracket on the J! site. The first six episodes will each feature two quarterfinal games. Episodes seven and eight (I'm guessing) will each feature two semifinal games. The three highest-scoring winners of those games will compete in the fi...

Re: Wednesday, December 22, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

At first I was confused with the Basho clue. Isn't a haiku 5/7/5? I counted 5/5/4.

I then did some digging, then it hit me: The syllables are Japanese:

FJ was an insta-"guess" for me, after seeing the term "governor-general". I saw that term used as a clue in the Australian version of Jeopardy. I wonder if any other countries have governor-generals, and I was just lucky?

Is there an ongoing list of world leaders who have or have had COVID? Besides #45, I can only think of Boris Johnson and the one from Iran.
