Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

At first I didn't like this FJ because it didn't specify Northern/Southern or Eastern/Western. Joke's on me, it works either way, I think. It does not. Portugal, Peru, and part of Ghana are in the Western Hemisphere. The equator just barely misses Peru to the north, so it's entirely in the Southern...

Re: Tuesday, March 12, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I'll be checking the "I've never seen [the correct response]" box but I got this one from little more than the single throwaway joke in Anyone Can Whistle (and the handful of references on J! over the years). Was it Kevin Marshall who used to say everything you needed to know for J! you c...

Anyone else led astray by the Bouganville independence referenda over the last few years and thinking that we might have finally recognized their independence?

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread

I remember that when I finished outside of the promotion zone in B Badlands in LL80, I was relieved since I thought, "Next season might finally be the time I win a rundle." Instead, I got promoted back to A since enough branches had left and they needed to keep the A rundle at 26. I someho...

Given the age of the current King of Norway, it looks like Crown Prince Haakon will become King Haakon VIII in the not-too-distant future. Maybe they're waiting for that.

Re: Watching Jeopardy after cutting the cord

Re: 2023 Second Chance Tourney

I just hope that Hari has gotten better at pop culture stuff. I remember the amount of controversy on local social media pages where he was introduced as being from Xenia, OH instead of Beavercreek, OH. I was hoping that he'd be introduced as originally from Beavercreek this time. I have a lot of re...

Re: What would you do?

To be honest, the biggest factor that I'd use to make my decision, had they been allowing new contestants during the strike, is that my body and brain are deteriorating quickly and that I don't think I have much longer that I'll be able to pass the test, or do well on the show. The fact that I'd hav...

Re: What would you do?

Given how often there have been triple stumpers lately on what should be fairly easy clues, I have a feeling that if this strike is protracted, someone who is studying J-Archive profusely will break James's single day scoring record. Anyway, I would go on the show because I'd expect to win a lot mor...

Re: What changes are in store for Season 40?

Ken has had enough trivia question writing gigs that he probably has a huge backlog of unused questions. While they would need to be rewritten to be Jeopardy!-style, at least it's not starting from scratch.

For some reason, they showed the March 27th episode instead of today's episode on WDTN here in Dayton. I don't remember them showing the wrong episode before.

If Alex has trouble explaining Final Jeopardy, maybe it wasn't such a good clue idea?
It's just interesting to see how much technology has changed over the course of the show. By the way, I'm surprised that Alex didn't call it either the pound sign or it's official term, octothorpe.
