Ellie: A lot of maps. I have map dresses, map skirts, map necklaces, map earrings. I was really inspired by Ms. Frizzle as a child.
Alex: Ms. Frizzle?
Ellie: Yes, from The Magic School Bus.
Alex: Oh, right.
Ellie: But since I don't teach science, I just do a lot of maps on my clothes in history class.
Alex: Okay. Good for you.
Alex: Benjamin Schwartz from Stamford, Connecticut. A big hip-hop fan. And has been known to engage his students in a little bit of competition there.
Benjamin: That's absolutely right, Alex. I like to keep my students and myself on my toes. I ask them sometimes to freestyle off the top of their heads and go back and forth with me. I'm happy to drop a few bars if you'd like right now.
Alex: I think it would be best if we did not get into that because you would embarrass the daylights out of me. I could not compete at all. Believe me.
Alex: Dave Rowswell is a high school art teacher from Cheyenne, Wyoming, who writes and produces game shows, or quiz shows. For your students, or--
Dave: That's right. My favorite game show is to play a game of Wheel of Fortune Cookies.
Alex: Wait a minute. You're a contestant on the Jeopardy! Teachers Tournament, and you're playing Wheel of Fortune Cookies?
[Laughter]
Dave: It's a lot of fun.
Alex: Couldn't come up with a game for Jeopardy!?
Dave: Oh, I could--I could come up with one. It would be Jeop-Arty!. Maybe. I don't know.
Alex: Not bad. He's trying, he's trying.

Wildcards:
Julia: 10200+5000-15200
Dave: 6200+6100=12300
Matthew: 12400-2800=9600
Sara: 9600-1201=8399
The what-if game:
Two scoring changes had the game less than smooth to conclude the week (and a long taping day for all involved).
Ellie mentioning The Magic School Bus and Ms. Frizzle was a couple of days late after the clue played on Wednesday.
A miss for me on the FJ! clue as I did 1820 to Missouri compromise and wasted time working on other "MI" states to find a match. Another inexcusable miss to not know the right state instantly. Wake up, Mark!

The what-if game:
Spoiler
If Tara got credit for chimes ($1600) then that is 4200 for FJ! and $8400 doubled up. Has anyone come up with an explanation why tubular bells has to be the sole correct response and "chimes" are wrong?

Chimes are free standing, bells are not.
The "Tubular Bells" needed a Mike Oldfield reference to get past my sniff test.

Re: Friday, May 10, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
So some random Z-string British politician who reigned in the 1840s is $200 box material, huh?
Ran 2 Word Alliteration and Parent Company, plus "OU" in DJ!
Can't believe I blanked on Stan Lee. And Stevie Nicks.
The Natural Landmarks category seemed pretty obscure.
Those were some tough Beatles lyrics. "Drive My Car" seemed a bit much for $400 since it wasn't even a single (to be fair, the Beatles are one of the only acts where I would expect knowledge of even their album cuts to be commonplace). I was at least familiar with the ones I missed, but NHO "Lovely Rita".
Took me a few seconds to get this one, but then I remembered that Maine used to be part of Massachusetts and it clicked. Thankfully "ME" is quick to write.
Lach Trash: outrigger, peripheral

1820 was all I needed to instaget FJ.

His name was irrelevant. I've never heard of him, but I got it right. Two principal political parties in the UK in the 19th century: Tories (Conservatives) and Whigs. The Z-string politician was a member of the nobility (an earl); ergo Conservative. Besides, even if you didn't know that men with titles were far more likely to be Conservative, it's a 50:50 toss up. So of course it was top box.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 7:39 pm So some random Z-string British politician who reigned in the 1840s is $200 box material, huh?

It's intellectually dishonest to characterize the politician as the material of the clue. He was immaterial except as a pin to the party (which, as CailinGaoilge explained, was essentially a 50/50 shot).TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 7:39 pm So some random Z-string British politician who reigned in the 1840s is $200 box material, huh?
Reigning is done by monarchs, by the way.

That's a lot of dots to connect and leaps of faith. Where's the Labor Party? The Bull Moose, or Greens, or Democrats for that matter. For $200, I expect something like : "This pompous ass was a member of this party which is also a political philosophy characterized by bigotry and intolerance in the US now".CailinGaoilge wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 10:11 pmHis name was irrelevant.

I thought there were a lot of traps and tricks in these boards. I thought the monkey had a "D". Why did Alex say "wend" instead of "wind" for that Alps clue?
I think Benjamin is going to Holzhauer his way to the championship. Why did he go true DD with 9K? I think he has a lot of strong categories.
I wonder if they will give a shout-out to Larry Martin on Thursday's game.
As a Missourian, I knew that we offset Maine as a free state to keep our Conservative values of human slavery in 1820. I did NOT know that Maine was ever North Massachusetts. But, it wasn't Missouri/Mississippi/Michigan/Minnesota so it fell into WECIB, in spite of the geographic offset.

And I would think a top box would be a 1 in 1, not 1 in 2, 1 in 3, or 1 in 62,783.

Yeah, 1820 statehood to me is Pavlov for Monroe's 1820 Missouri Compromise, which, as you mentioned, added Maine as a non-slave state, Missouri to balance it with a slave state.

From there I had to think of where the break off origins came from. Given I live New England, started with Maine, and from there Massachusetts. Hey, Ma-! Had it before Alex was done with the clue, didn't even have to think of Missouri breaking off from the Southeastern portion of the Missouri territory.

totally agree...suggests we need to be familiar with british political parties of the 19th century...which isn't top box material
