Please post results here!

The water crossing of course made me think in terms of cities by rivers. This naturally led to Stratford upon Avon. But I wasn't sure what that had to do with the motto. That's where my Latin failed me. I translated Fortis est Veritas as Strength is Truth. This didn't lead me to an educational insti...

While I was surprised to find Buckaroo Banzai a TS ("why is there a watermelon there?"). Just as I was surprised that nobody fell for the obvious trap of "Tenacious D" for the first clue in the category. I doubt anyone ever referred to Tenacious D as a "young band." Ky...

Before hitting on the (obvious) correct response, I briefly thought of Price Waterhouse Cooper, thinking they might have been fired from the Oscars, whose envelopes aren't traditionally red. (But I misnamed them "Sullivan Compliance".) Do Oscar envelopes change color from year to year? Th...

I was hoping there might be some discussion here of the weird way “The Artist” question was answered. It almost seemed like Ed may have just blurted out the question (and that part was edited out) before asking, “oh I have to ring in?” (or whatever he said, I don’t remember the exact words.) Otherw...

I figured it couldn't be Murdoch Mysteries because a) that's a pretty deep cut for Jeopardy! and b) the clue spots you "Murdoch." (I suppose one could argue that the second point compensates for the first, but it still didn't seem likely.) With that out of the way I went right to Rupert an...

I miss TPH even if no one else does. They'd have been pleased with the Hawley-Smoot clue. Or kicking themself for somehow missing it. ...

I miss TPH even if no one else does. They'd have been pleased with the Hawley-Smoot clue. Or kicking themself for somehow missing it. I'm glad they asked for Sidney Carton. If they'd named him and asked for Charles Darnay, I'm not sure I'd have come up with the name. I needed the triple-stumper time...

INSECTS $600 -- Centipedes are insects now? Good night! Didn't even notice that. It's not just in the category either. The clue specifies a "'100-legged' insect." That's worse than the time they wanted the British dish known as "this reptile 'in the hole.'" Jeopardy! should brin...

Good night! Didn't even notice that. It's not just in the category either. The clue specifies a "'100-legged' insect." That's worse than the time they wanted the British dish known as "this reptile 'in the hole.'"

Why they would suddenly start requiring or requesting the full category after decades (as far as I remember) of being fine with shorthand is beyond me. All I know is I find it annoying. Is it possible a contestant made a stink about being somehow "misled" or "thrown off my game"...

A well-played game for the most part. I went wrong on the Swiss cheese DD. Knowing that tal means valley in German, I immediately went to Emmenthaler. Easy-peasy FJ. Man, that's a great guess. Asked to choose between your response and the correct one, I'd have gone with yours because it sounds Germ...
