Emily Goodlander finished the game with $88 back in 2014: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1766.

I spotted two former Jeopardy! champs on Wheel in the last week: Emily Herndon won $13,097 in cash and prizes last Wednesday (oddly enough, just $3 less than her combined winnings from J! and WWTBAM ) and Jason Idalski (who posted here under the name "tailskid") was yesterday's big winner with a $68...

It was constructed by Peter Mowrey in 2002 as a submission for a contest on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday Puzzle to create a pangram that in...

NAME'S THE SAME

Name shared by a Trojan War hero, a Thracian king killed by Hercules during one of his labors, and a saint who gave his name to Russia's easternmost island

Has anyone ever done a meta-analysis of these poll results? It would be interesting to see if the FJs have a tendency to get more difficult as the ToC approaches. The upcoming ToC will be the sixth one held since this message board was created. Looking at the poll results for the four weeks before ...

Jamie's bet worked for her to get the win. cheezguyty - Short or long list for players winning a game with $9999? Especially if on day one? This is at least the eleventh time someone has won with $9,999 (six of those were in the player's first game). The only other repeating-digit winning scores I ...

Ed is the third contestant, along with Ed Osawa and Jeff Goldfarb , to win their first two games with exactly $73,600 or $36,800 from the pre-doubled days. Oddly enough, all three lost in their third game! There are only five players in the Archive who finished 2-1 and won more money than that, incl...

J! does recycle clues, and has some clues that are basically the same with some minor word tweaking. But I've never seen the wording verbatim quite like those two you found, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were other instances in the J! archive. I don't think it's coincidence, but I don't thin...
