24k is a height that no mountain outside Asia reaches, that's why. There are a ton of mountains in South America that are 22K. If your numerical search on mountains isn't that fine-tuned, then Gangkar Puensum could be in South America. Or if you don't know that Kilimanjaro is only 19K, then Gangkar...

But that's knowing the FIRST, not the 24th President. It's knowing a superlative, not some random number in between.

To tie a couple of recent posts together: Cleveland Rocks!

I had 3 MA men picked out for FJ!: Hancock, Adams and Adams. Went with J. Adams.

We drove through Pilzen on our way to Prague some 5 years ago (time flies) but didn't get to stop at the brewery. From Prague I brought back a couple of (empty) bottles of Czech Budweiser for beer loving friends.

"Whose" was my only miss in Contractions.

It's a miss in written form as well, although you didn't change pronounciation.

For team names I would prefer it be Team Colby, Team Ken etc. after the captains and no punny pub trivia types.

So you'd be opposed to "Make Mine A Collins"?

To go really retro: The Colbys.

' :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Sorry for the bump, but I never got around to posting my results for this week (which I try to do faithfully now that poll votes are private), and want to get it done before the new season starts.

A minor league baseball team in Madison, Alabama, is set to begin play in 2020. They had an internet poll to name the team and the winning name was the Rocket City Trash Pandas. https://articles.al.com/news/index.ssf/2018/09/what_is_a_trash_panda_slang_wo.amp There is a joke here and I will be pill...

I ran a few hundred stress-strain tests in my met lab days, including 64 in one day. I wasn't gonna miss that one.

I found a really stupid way to miss my state capital that's 60 miles away from where I live. I glossed over the "named after a president" part and focused on Boone. I know Columbia is in Boone County, but that doesn't have a double letter. News flash: it's not the capital either, Sherlock! By then,...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I guessed Deliverance on Thursday, which was published in 1970, so I can’t check the box. I’ve seen Jaws, but I momentarily forgot it was adapted from a novel. Sure you can. It meets the first part of the "or" statement.

To be blunt, the type of person who has never shown any curiosity to where common expressions came from, is not someone who is going to succeed on Jeopardy! You have to know things, and you have to be capable of some deductible reasoning to fill in the gaps you don’t know. Blah blah blah vintager. ...

My addendum to Suzanne's response to Alex's early season rafting comment in the interview: Kudos to Suzanne for not correcting Alex. I rafted Grand Canyon 4 times. At the start of the second one, I got married. It doesn't matter when you raft, the water will be cold because it comes from the bottom ...

I know I'm late but have a question for the judges.

In WHO Essential Drugs, for the clue which basically looked for powdered activated this to treat poisoning I said carbon in lieu of charcoal. What do you think?

I pre-called the reversal for Annual Rate of Return, but TPTB were generous giving Revenue IMHO - that isn't a thing anyone would call ARR. The category name mentioned 'aa' and the abbr in the clue was "AAR" and spotted us "average annual". So that would turn the first two responses into average an...

Ooh, early 1790s, who famously died?

Instantly went to Jean-Paul Marat.

Oops.

Well, at least you took a stab at it.

Ah, so peach was the key word. I thought the Masters was older than that though. But nothing else came to mind, so that's a get. A key word, though its importance escaped me first time around. Wasn't nearly necessary, though, because what sport is played among lots of trees, and of its big annual e...

So from what I'm gathering that GDP clue was just a garbage clue? No There was nothing wrong with the clue, but it could have been made a bit clearer by putting "growth" or "increase" in the clue and therefore keying GDP as the correct response. Y? As you said, there was nothing wrong with the clue...

"This type of turtle". Wait, there's more than one? Can't say I've heard of a box turtle. Box, snapping, ninja... One day I'll make it to the Nixon birthplace...it's just up the street... Hah. We must be neighbors. I'm just a couple miles away, and haven't ever visited. It's on my list for this yea...
