Andrew is a good friend of mine and I thought he gave an outstanding performance. I was gutted when he lost, but he gave it a great run.

Well, I misread FJ and thought they wanted a parable and said Good Samaritain.
FWIW, I'm a Methodist.

For some reason, my follow-up post did not make it into the thread. It went something like this:
I stand corrected on the "just deserts" issue. I always appreciate learning something new!

Jewish. Groaned at the category reveal. Went with water into wine. If you're going to serve 5,000, you should at least have some lox on hand.

I agree, her answer was ambiguous. Does anybody have an e-mail address or other methods of contacting The Powers That Be at Jeopardy! so I can express my thoughts on this issue? The official board and its accompanying "contact us" e-mail link aren't working.sdgilleran wrote:Was I the only person who thought Linda's response of "loaves and fish feeding" wasn't specific enough? The New Testament records not just the Feeding of the 5000 (which is in all four gospels), but also the Feeding of the 4000 (which is in only two). Both were done via loaves and fish.

Her answer may have been ambiguous, but the question itself was worse, because it leads to just this type of scenario, requiring the judges to accept a wide latitude of potential responses in order to give contestants the benefit of the doubt in terms of intent.

That's basically my reasoning why I accepted what I gave, especially considering their TOM of "two of Christ's symbols."alamble wrote:Her answer may have been ambiguous, but the question itself was worse, because it leads to just this type of scenario, requiring the judges to accept a wide latitude of potential responses in order to give contestants the benefit of the doubt in terms of intent.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

My pastor sent me an e-mail tonight asking if I could read scripture tomorrow since the worship leader scheduled won't be able to make it. My verses? Matthew 14: 13-21 (The Feeding of the Five Thousand)

Upon further review, Linda's response was "loaves and fishes feeding" - the unambiguous plural eliminates the possibility of the Feeding of the 4000, which was conducted with only one fish. I withdraw my complaint.Observer wrote:I agree, her answer was ambiguous.
