I saw Malco, and I couldn't shake Malcolm X out of my mind. I couldn't get any other associated name to fit, so I knew I was wrong...

Don't stay in the category where you just got a DD if another DD is out there!

Yeah, needed the year to suss FJ.

close to :25 before it snapped in here, too...As someone else said, I had Ar-Mal instead of Arm-Al for a long time. The scrawl on my page can probably be read only by me, but I'm counting it!Sherm wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 11:43 am I got FJ, and I'm marking it in my book as a correct, but on the set I don't know if I would have had time to write it down.
I stared at "armalco" trying to come up with names, and that didn't work. I jumped over to 1969 mineral, and hit on moon landing, but it truly took around 25 seconds. I count it as a make because at the end of the music my daughter asked who, and I easily responded with Armstrong, Aldrin or Collins like I knew the whole time.

Is this the first time a CROSSWORD CLUES category has had the word "letters" in parentheses in every clue (instead of just the number in parentheses)?MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 1:42 pm After DD3 it was still a lock although Daniel continued well enough to have it broken for a good portion of the DJ! round until he had one too many letters in CROSSWORD CLUES "M" while Matt rebounded it without having to count on his fingers.
EDIT: I found this game from last August where this was the case. Maybe there are more.

I think you're right. The flip side of that coin is that the omission of the word "letters" was probably for the benefit of the character-count-challenged Chyron of the early '90s.MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:22 pm I assume that's for the benefit of less experienced hosts.

Depends on how you define quickly. I got it as a "well, duh" just as time expired but wouldn't have time to write it down. Guess "duh" can equal "d'oh." The transitive property of feeling like an idiot.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 12:02 am Did anyone get FJ from knowing what Armalcolite is before seeing the clue? I liked this FJ because it required some thinking, but enough was given in the clue to figure it out fairly quickly.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.
