Not counting Betty McGlown (who left the group while they were still The Primettes and before they were signed), nine different women performed as part of The Supremes; all are living except for Florence Ballard, who died in 1976.

I am not able to vote, as I neither clammed nor gave either of the responses listed.

Three triple stumpers in SJ. Then ELEVEN in DJ. All but the top row clue in FILM COMPOSERS went begging. More than a third of the DJ clues--including two that elicited two wrong guesses before the final shrug. Yet still every single clue got uncovered. Wow. Is that a record? The January 10, 2005 ep...

Jack said his sister was on four years and came in second to have bragging rights in the family. Jack was on today and came in second. If sis got her FJ! clue right then the family will need a tie breaker of scores entering the FJ! round.

She didn't.

For cheezguyty: The last time 8 categories were not completed?

February 22, 2018

In winning 4 games Karen has a wagering average of 2,120 and it would be lower if she had known the Russian ship on Friday's DD3 when the miss tightened the game. cheezguyty: Can you find a person after their 4th win (before playing game 5) with a lower DD+FJ wagering average? Lisa Guay averaged ju...

Looks as though Jason got in exactly twice in DJ: on the first and last clues of the round. Has that ever happened before? Not that I expect an answer, but I'm continually amazed by what some folks here (looking at you, cheezguyty) seem able to either figure out or remember. I wasn't able to find a...

Dagmar betting $11,111 seems slightly familiar so perhaps cheezguyty can find a previous example of that bet? And I should have asked yesterday if the orderly $4,567 has ever occurred. Melissa Prepster in 2005 and Van Lane in 2010 both wagered $11,111 on Final Jeopardy. A year ago Noah Link ended t...

Twenty-five years after it was released, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" tops the Billboard Hot 100. It is the first holiday song to top the chart since "The Chipmunk Song" ruled in 1959 and gives Carey her 19th number one, putting her just one behind the Beatles for the most all-ti...

Alexandra was mentioned in this write-up in the Desert Sun newspaper from December 11, 1985, about Gary's then-upcoming Jeopardy! appearance (another one rife with spoilers! https://web.archive.org/web/20101224230804if_/http://boards.sonypictures.com/boards//images/smilies/shake.gif ): https://cdnc....

AWARDS & HONORS

Begun in 2010, the award named for her is given for "excellence in crime, mystery and thriller writing by New Zealand authors"

ETA - According to Wiki, there's 3 official marks better than the unofficial Ditmar flight at 623 mph and even Ditmar beat it unofficially at 702 mph in 1948. And then Yeager's flight is also unofficial at "only" 670 mph in October 1947 followed by an 891 mph spanking in November. So, I still like ...

I didn't see any mention here about Jennifer's FJ! wager. Had she missed, she put herself at exactly 2x the third place contestant. [...] MarkBarrett mentioned that in the very first post in this thread: I could smell the reversal coming and that padded Jennifer's total having to cover 30400 instea...

LESSER-KNOWN NAMES

In 1944, traveling in a Messerschmitt Komet, German Heini Dittmar set an unofficial world record that stood for three years until it was surpassed by this man
[Edited for correction]

After clue 29 of the DJ! round Alex mentions the name that would have been in clue 30. Dave indicated he knew who it was. I don't and left a [?] that I would be glad to fill in if a helpful boardie can please provide an assist. Like last night with the Indian name request I have another one from th...

Last name of the illustrator known for works like the one seen here; it sounds like something depicted in the image

One for cheezguyty: What is the percentage of shows with 3 women contestants? Since April 28, 2004, 77 out of 2,844 regular episodes (2.7%) have had three female contestants.

Here's one for cheezguyty: Alex had $88 after missing DD1. Anyone ever had that score before? At any point?

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...

I got all 10 TOC FJ so I'll say they were too easy for a TOC. Maybe someone has FJ conversion stats for the participating contestants in previous TOCs. 48.28% - 14/29 - 1985 ToC 34.48% - 10/29 - 1986 ToC 57.14% - 16/28 - 1987 ToC 50.00% - 15/30 - 1988 ToC 30.00% - 9/30 - 1989 ToC 36.67% - 11/30 - 1...
