Re: LL 100
For the Piaget I got credit for infants when children was the only correct answer when I submitted. 10-10-4 on the season to fight for over .500 on Monday. For some reason, I didn't get credit for 'apes' for that question. I'm locked into 5th, and had a very lucky season. Middle of the pack TCA and...

Re: Friday, March 15, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
There's an odd break between DJ7 and DJ8 (the first DD). Between Ben answering DJ7 "What is Once ?" and calling for Lost Works $1600, Yogesh's body position changes from furiously pounding his buzzer to arms braced on his lectern. Something must have happened that forced TPTB to stop tape...

Game Recap Summaries
A very long time ago now, we used to have the game recap summaries posted in the daily threads. See, for example: https://jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?t=418 AFAIK, Brian had somehow automated these. Brian has been gone a long time now. Does anyone have a clue as to how this might have been done, or how w...

Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Same. I figured it had to be the southern hemisphere, but couldn't think of which Secretary it would be. Certainly something worth studying a bit as there have only been nine. Sec-Gens should definitely be on your short list study guide if you get the call. Wholeheartedly agree with the study list....

Re: Reretaken Down
Moving this from Wednesday's discussion. If you're snoring, you're breathing. CPAPs mitigate obstructive apneas, the cessations of breathing caused by the collapse of the soft palate to close off the airway, which can cause nightlong micro-arousals and kill the brain. I'm going to take exception to ...

Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I was confused by the FJ clue's wording but somehow recognized that it sought Pérez de Cuéllar's country. Unfortunately I didn't remember where he was from; I went the wrong way from Colombia and said Venezuela. [edit: Now I realize that if I had understood the clue as looking for a southern hemisp...

Re: Help Support JBoard!
Speaking of the server upgrade ... it's time we once again start reimbursing Robert for the money he lays out every month to keep JBoard running. That doesn't even include the time and effort he puts in. At his billable hour rate that would ... um, a lot. So, if you would like the esteemed, albeit t...

Re: Reretaken Down
Thanks to Robert, we have upgraded our server. The hope is that the upgrade will end the technical issues we've been experiencing. At least at the moment, it's much more spritely.

I was surprised that was a TS with that talent up there. I got it right away (though I'm not sure how; maybe because German words are always compound and the way it's spelled?).

Thorium is naturally-occurring. It wouldn't have been discovered through fission (although it can be produced from fission). The legend of Prometheus is what gave it to me.

Re: J! in the Media
A long time ago, I did a back-of-the-envelope calculation of how much of the show's revenue went to the prize money. IIRC, it was minimal -- something like 5-10%. Plus I agree with Golf; absent a Holzhauer, they're going to be giving away more or less the same amount each day. There's a distribution...

Re: Inside Jeopardy podcast
I'll admit to some mild annoyance at hopping around the board after the DDs are found. At that point, just go in order.
