So how long did (does) the suspended animation last?

This is the $64,000,000,000 question

I took the Anytime Test last night because why not. Messed up a few gimmes but got about 40 right

Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft was an organization (perhaps apocryphal) that existed (or not) in pre-WWI Vienna, Austria, involved in the transportation of cargo and passengers on what river? I recognized it from Strauss’s “An der schönen, blauen Don...

Someone on the staff must be telling them to say it.

Yup. They’re all coming out of the same guest host boot camp

It still irks me that they read the scores as “dollars”. It’s superfluous and sounds jarring since Alex never said it

Putting aside the pseudo science and fake cures, I thought Dr. Oz was awful but yeah ok, it was the first day. Too many speech issues for me. This guy works in TV?! Next! So many weird triple stumpers and weird inter-game commentary from the players Had to Google the historical reference to understa...

Negged with Shenandoah, which is frustratingly close and also from the Algonquian. Alas. I will never in a million years understand that wager from second place. There are so many options there between $1400 and $7200 (I'm rounding) that would be justifiable. Any single one of those and Keith wins....

Before I got to the 'two streets meet' part, I thought the question was going to be about Hopper's painting "Chop Suey". That would have been a happy change of pace from all the Nighthawks questions. Yeah, you'd think "Nighthawks" was the only thing Hopper ever painted. Did you know Hopper did clow...

I got my first shot today. Pfizer is finally offering the vaccine to employees.

Ugh I would have bet the farm on that YOU LOSE DD. Damn you Clay Aikin! LT: Book of Kells, Poland, Volga, Paul Ryan, Perseus No guess on Final. I wrote fly after swatting away cockroach Overall, I feel that Katie has a flat affect as guest host, but she manages to show up and emote a few times per e...

‘Phantom Tollbooth’ author Norton Juster dies at 91

A fine debut by Couric. Fine as in adequate. But we don’t tune in for adequate. Pet peeve - all these guest hosts saying “dollars” when reading the scores. Alex didn’t say it and it sounds jarring now. I can’t unhear it! I hope she improves over the next 2 weeks. I do want them all to succeed, but t...

Laura took names and kicked frog queen and defending champion butt. I was impressed by some of her gets, Theresa May and the Philippines come to mind. When spotted Luzon, it’s got to be the Philippines. And don’t be impressed by Theresa May when spotted second female British PM :P I’m terrible at m...

I was prepared to answer pied piper but then the clue wanted Robert Browning all of a sudden. Who got that one?

This guy did

I zeroed in on the Louvre instantly but then went astray on the no foreigners pin, thinking oh, they mean I. M. Pei so it’s *not the Louvre. Still, I assumed one of the players would figure it out

Colony Collapse Disorder- I think that’s a first for Jeopardy! and I’m here for it Already bored of Mike Richards’ supercilious “nooo” Like Mark, I wasted half the think time parsing the words in the clue, hit pause, and got to Bibi right around (probably after) the last note of think music. The wri...

How many got the quilt question here? I was nervous assigning defense. I knew it because I live in Alabama and have heard about the quilting ladies. I just didn’t know if it was widely known or if it could be puzzled out. It seemed to play hard, though not as hard as Joker’s Wild. I got it, thanks ...

Kara Walker! Finally!

For the Ezra Pound clue the term "imagist" made me think of an artist or painter. How'd that one play for everybody else? My Pavlov for "Imagist" is Amy Lowell, but the clue said "he", so I just said Lowell hoping it was referring to another member of that prominent family. The fact that Pound was ...

Doubt that we’ll ever see clues about Larry Nasser or John Geddert. Jeopardy! won’t touch that

An easy final always favors the contestant who is in the lead. I couldn't believe how easy that final was. I don't know why Ken couldn't pull it or why it took Aaron until the last second. I can't even think of a Cosmetics company called Mac or a playwright who is from there. MAC Cosmetics is big b...
