Yes, indeed they did. As Sam said, there are two correct responses.Volante wrote:They asked for a US state.OrangeSAM wrote:It Borders Both for $400 has two correct responses, but only one was given on the show.
Lara Antipova was a tragic character, not sure I'd be naming my children for a homebreaking fallen woman, but Lara's Theme was a hauntingly beautiful melody, hear it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yd2PzoF1y8TenPoundHammer wrote:I was disappointed that Lara Croft the contestant was not an archaeologist.
WLT Persia at $400?
"Ruled at times by Persians--" Yeah, no way am I getting this one.
What are they? The clue said Maine and Vermont. Does another state border Maine?bpmod wrote:Yes, indeed they did.

That was the $200 clue. $400 was "California & Utah". Tomb Raider said NV. I -think- I might've said AZ here at home.Bamaman wrote:What are they? The clue said Maine and Vermont. Does another state border Maine?
Will be very honest and say "I haven't a clue". My original (and still fairly solid) take was that his run is due to a succession of weak/timid opponents (who bet oddly) and just plain luck....but you can't argue with the results......JayK33 wrote:Congrats to Tim for running the week and becoming a superchamp. Big comeback for someone who was in third place heading into FJ in his second game (if I remember correctly). How long do we predict he'll go? You can never tell for sure.
There's no question Making of...is wrong. I negged myself.OSXpert wrote:
Would "Making of a Murderer" get negged per Jeopardy rules for "Making a Murderer"?
In the Magic: The Gathering community, there's a saying for tournaments: "You can win only one round at a time, and only against the opponents you're given." Tim's taken care of business against everyone J!'s thrown at him so far, and I'd argue there's no such thing as a truly weak superchamp. They can get lucky, they can have weaknesses, but anyone who knocks off a defending champ + fellow challenger and then sends ten consecutive online-test-passing challengers back home with Aleve money has the trivia goods and usually some distinctive strength (like Tim's FJ wagering mastery).svoyager11 wrote:Will be very honest and say "I haven't a clue".

From what I hear, that's exactly what happened to the lady "My Sharona" was named after.MarkBarrett wrote:Lara had a good time and the host liked her. Alex was wise to ask her on her only appearance about her having a famous name. Lara from Dr. Zhivago it is. It must be strange to go years with a regular name that draws no more attention than any other one and then to wake up one day and have it be widely known. Ordering a pizza suddenly becomes more difficult?
Nah. I don't consider myself a Civil War buff, but Andersonville and Manassas are both standard J! Pavlovs, as is John Wilkes Booth for famous murderer of the era. North and South may not be as well-known these days, but it was a gigantic hit miniseries back in the mid-'80s, helping to launch the career of Patrick Swayze.TenPoundHammer wrote:That Civil War category may have been a little on the tough side. While I've seen an entire category triple-stumped before, I think this is only the third one I've ever seen where no one even rang in with a guess, after Central American Capitals back in April and Broadway Lyrics in January 2013.
That's the joke. The clue referenced one brother making a comment about the other, but the contestant was not required to distinguish between the two in his response.MDaunt wrote:Christopher Hitchens did/does have a brother, Peter, who is well-known in his own right, although for radically different reasons.dinghammer wrote:It's a good thing Christopher Hitchens didn't have a brother, or Alex might have BMSed. It's not like he's Kit Carson or anything.
I think I need to keep my ears plugged until the music stops. Someone said Caspian, so I went with the Black Sea. I knew it was one of them...
