36R with a bunch of misses. The episode was already archived so thanks for that. I get Biscayne Bay and Bay of Biscay mixed up. The clues were fine but I'm having fun imagining the Jeopardy writers going to a small metal concert and surveying people - "You all like Def Leppard and Motley Crue, right...

It’s been announced that Alex is back in chemo

I considered Twain and then went with Dickens.

Tolstoy's Wikipedia page mentions that he is well known for a Nobel prize controversy because he didn't win.

Thanks for hosting! Woohoo!

Standings after 6 -

1. MattKnowles - 14

I think it has gotten easier but not by very much. I track some of my scores and they seem to be a little higher on recent games compared to games in the early 2000s. The games from the 80s seem much more difficult. I think it could just be natural variation. They might have new writers and editors ...

6. SINGLETONS FOR ALL? Name any of the 270 current stations on the London Underground. Some station names are similar, so be as specific as possible. Trafalgar Square heppm01 *Trafalgar Square was on the Bakerloo line from 1906–79 Trafalgar - see above MattKnowles I was listening to this before par...

TIL there was a solo version of synchronized swimming. A website says "the event's supporters claim that the synchronization is with the music."

Are the QF match-ups randomly selected or do they have a seeding/placement system? I would have put Alan Dunn higher than bronze. I think James should be a platinum. James doesn't have a lock because there are a lot of strong competitors but he should be the heavy favorite. Are tickets for the tapin...

I think Kenny Bania would have worked for question 1 but I couldn’t remember the name and decided not to go with “ovaltine guy”

Sure, I'll try to put one together. It won't happen right away but once I get around to it I'll post an update here.

Thanks for the feedback so far. The NAQT playlists are pretty close to what I'm looking for. I'm listening to the "Canonical Country" playlist now. I have more trouble with country, jazz, and oldies from the 20s/30s/40s/50s than anything else. The IHeartRadio playlists might work really well for the...

Any Spotify playlists with songs that have been mentioned on Jeopardy? Jeopardy mentions a lot of popular and interesting songs from different genres. Has anybody made a playlist on Spotify or another service? It would be fun to listen to and it would be helpful for studying. I've tried to search fo...

Thanks for putting this together.

For number 5 there is an error on the form. It says "Must be a number."

Were there two clues about "Watership Down" today? I'm not really sure but I thought there was one in the J round in "British Literature" and one in the DJ round for "Legendary" or whatever the category was with Shangri-La and Atlantis.

Do you know which old thread talked about this? I'll go read the previous discussion.

Assume Player 1 has twice the score of Player 2 and both contestants independently have a 50% chance to answer FJ correctly and Player 2 wagers everything. If Player 1 bets $1 they win in RR/RW/WW (75% to win) and lose on WR (25% to lose) - they have a 75% chance to win. If Player 1 bets $0 they wi...

Roey played really well. I like the "whoever's closest" numerical idea for a tiebreaker instead of the buzzer face off. Assume Player 1 has twice the score of Player 2 and both contestants independently have a 50% chance to answer FJ correctly and Player 2 wagers everything. If Player 1 bets $1 they...

Potentially good news from Alex ...

That's great news.

Is a wrong answer elimination or a penalty? If you did a penalty of +100 it would lead to a secondary contest between "eliminated" players.
