I have 1/12/89 and 1/13/89 to do, so someone else is welcome to hit that gap with the 1/11/89 game while it's available online.legendneverdies wrote:Animfan1 uploaded the recently archived 1/10/89 and the not yet archived 1/11/89 episode to their Dailymotion page.

^Looks like that game was a loss for the Strong Form of Shore's Conjecture. The second place player bet big.

I think I hear sirens.
That is interesting international trivia at $500. I never knew that city is British. Someone should tell them.

Hi, there. Could somebody by any chance get the 4/5/1990 episode archived, or what's available of it? It's on YouTube, and I'm the original uploader.

No. It's not British. It is, however, part of the UK (which is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). It's in the Northern Ireland part; not the British part.econgator wrote:It's not an English city, but it's certainly a British one.Bamaman wrote:That is interesting international trivia at $500.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
OK, then, what is the demonym for people and things from the UK? Looking it up, the accepted demonym for the UK is "British". May not be 100% correct, but it is the accepted demonym.bpmod wrote:No. It's not British. It is, however, part of the UK (which is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
I don't know any people from Belfast who call themselves 'British' (and, yes, I know several people in the area). And I don't know if I've ever heard a Scotsman or a Welshman call himself 'British' either.

Agreed (I have a friend that I grew up with that was born in Belfast who has mentioned his British citizenship and passport before.econgator wrote:Doesn't matter what they call themselves, they hold British citizenship by birth.bpmod wrote:I don't know any people from Belfast who call themselves 'British' (and, yes, I know several people in the area).

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
March 29, 1989 is in: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=4998
During story time with Hugh (U.S. Air Force contract negotiator) Alex brought up $400 hammers and Hugh cracked about getting them at $375.
Alex mentioned (he had mentioned in the previous game as well) that Craig had won $999 in his first game.
Anyone want a research assignment? 1988 $200: Bone, Crossbeak & Bonnet, or, as the Eskimos called them, Pontu, Siku & Kannick
It's been a few years since I've seen Big Miracle and in refreshing the facts online I saw spellings of Poutu and Puku for the first Eskimo name. The clue definitely had "Pontu", but I do not want to make an erratum in error.

The episode began as the interviews started. Alex did mention both challengers' full names. I wasn't sure if Tom was Byrd, Bird or Berg. I went with Byrd, but we won't know for sure until the rest of the game surfaces. I did get Tom's job and hometown, but Kathy's is unknown.
Here is a link to the video if you want to decipher Tom's last name.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
I have added 10/10/90: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=4999
Only 3 TS clues and it should have been zero with the rebound possibilities.
I can only imagine how many times since the game that Richard (even if still a West Coaster) has been visually reminded how his chance at a second win got away.
For pizzicato I went lowercase and italics although the archive also has uppercase and lowercase no italics.
Back on Monday with Peggi Malys #2.

I let this game have the honor of id=5000 since it was a high-scoring outchange double dip.
A couple of tough breaks for Art on SPORTS QUOTES $500 and his DJ! round DD.

During the interview, Bruce said he used to train thoroughbred race horses. But then the $1,000 clue in gambling is a stand-and-stare. Think that extra grand would have come in handy during Final Jeopardy?
I was unsure how to handle FJ. Alex said there were nine in total, but did not give the full list and the players as a group only came up with three of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_P ... om_college
This article lists the presidents by their college education. Eight have "none" by their name and says Truman went to some business college as well as a law school in Kansas City, but did not graduate. I assume he is the ninth and put the full list in the clue. Any insight by more experienced archivists would be welcome.
