Re: Friday, November 17, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
For "hero sandwich"/"ham sandwich", do you accept "hoagie sandwich"? I would, but I'm a little biased -- that was my response. No question - if hero is the expected answer hoagie's correct too. I said "ham" and was a little unsure they'd take the neg back since you can see 2 kinds of meat in the sa...

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
That FJ is a little brutal in terms of having enough time to write it down, even if you know the answer. It's even harder if you go with Bosnia and Herzegovina ...although that wouldn't have been a country at the time. I came up with Czech Republic for the other, which at least is easier to spell. ...

Re: The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)
Stoli = vodka Which is such a common TOM that it's only come up 5 times before. Yeah, clearly top box material. I take it you don't go to bars much. Stolichnaya is one of the main brands of vodka, and it's understandably near-universally referred to as Stoli. I'm not sure I've ever actually had it,...

Sigh. If you asked me yesterday, I would have said jellyfish. Then I ran across the blue-ringed octopus. Turns out, almost every I can find reference calls it "one of the most venomous".

Re: Friday, July 7, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
From flag research, I knew that FJ was talking about the people were the people from Sapmi, but had no idea what they were called (as others pointed out, they call themselves Sami). So I reluctantly guessed Lapplanders, knowing that they were somewhere up there too. Turns out they're the same people...

I started thinking of every island nation I could think of around there - Reunion (technically part of France), Mauritius, Comoros, and then Seychelles. Once I came up with Seychelles, that jumped out for the tongue twister portion. Looking at a map, a) I missed Mayotte b) Seychelles is the only one...

FJ was an instaget in our house. There was an American Experience series on PBS on Disney a couple years back. He learned from his mistakes with Disneyland, where other developers quickly bought up the surrounding land, which really limited his ability to expand. When he decided to build something s...

3401 would have kept him above the 0 bet that Brittany should have made, IMHO. That said, it would have left him open. I don't get why people go all in from 3rd like that.

but there are roughly the same number of male and female contestants appearing on the show. Just to keep it off topic, I'd wager a whole lot of money that the actual people that are making it to Culver City are intentionally 50/50, and it's only the fact that a few "extras" that get bumped that kee...

In lots of places, blue laws only apply to alcohol. I know Massachusetts was like that when I lived up there. Per Wikipedia: Blue laws in the United States vary by state. Blue laws are laws designed to enforce religious standards. Many states prohibit selling alcoholic beverages for on- and off-prem...

One look at Alex should have told him he was forgetting something. Based on his mannerisms, I'm guessing he has Asperger's or something, so he might not pick up on those kinds of cues as easily as you or I. Agreed on the DDs - the first was a bit aggressive, the second was good, and the third was b...

What's the rule on whether you can correct yourself if you forget the "what is" in DJ? It seemed like Peter had a little time left on that DD, would they have accepted it if he corrected himself? You only have two seconds before the judges issue their word to rephrase your response. [Citation neede...

Re: "Basic strategy" for Final Jeopardy wagering?
Jeopardy isn't deterministic, like a dealer in Blackjack, so there are different strategies that your opponent could use, and those could impact your own. A pretty good basic strategy (that still has some holes) is: 1) If you're in first, bet enough that you have 2 times the second place, plus $1. U...
