Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

Jeopardy!/Master Minds crossover: Daniel Handler == Lemony Snickett.

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

Yeah, like there would be a GSN contestant who would know Balzac's Cousin Bette.

Cousin Bette has one hit in the Archive from 1989. Ironically a $200 clue, however also part of the clue was "Divine Miss M" which is probably how the contestant got it.

Uranium atomic number 92.

Line added, thanks.

That Japanese pottery term went 2/2. If I'm spelling it right then it's 0/0 in the archive.

I sure didn't get it. It's not a term I am familiar with.

That's a useful list. Kirigami was an answer in this year's World Quizzing Championship; I used to know it, but I couldn't remember it while taking the quiz. Kintsugi I have on a flashcard that I reviewed only yesterday, but I couldn't recall it today. There is a card game based on the concept called "Broken and Beautiful".

10/31 ep. a trick or a treat? That was a treat.

Spoiler

8300 by contestant Amanda and 8700 by Muffy.
3-3 followed by conversion of the UTQ. If Amanda has not already been on J! then she should be.

Thanks, that's very kind. Alas, been there, done that (in 2018), choked on Final!

Way to go, Amanda!!! Knew you could do it!

Thanks so much!

[alietr]

I look forward to your next appearance. On the other side of the studio.

[MarkBarrett]

Congrats and well done to earn the honor, Amanda. Line added to your J! Archive bio page.

Whether later this season or next season you would be a good candidate for more than just a token appearance as a Master Mind in only one game, having demonstrated not only the knowledge level, but buzzer skill as well.

Yet another Jeopardy!/Master Minds crossover. Paul Simon's Feeling Groovy.

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

New list:

Hawaiian Alphabet: 13 letters

Hebrew Alphabet: 22 letters

Greek Alphabet: 24 letters

Arabic Alphabet: 28 letters

Welsh Alphabet: 29 letters

Cyrillic Alphabet: 32 letters

Japanese Alphabet: 46 letters

Hindi Alphabet: 48 letters

Cambodian Alphabet: 74 letters

Ethiopian(Ge'ez) Alphabet: 345 letters

[Golf]

Hawaiian Alphabet: 13 letters

The Hawaiian alphabet contains 12 letters and an okina, or glottal stop. Because of this some sources list the the Hawaiian alphabet as having 12 letters. The original alphabet did not have the okina.
