Jeopardy! round review:

HOW TO DRAIN YOUR FLAGON

WRITERS FIRST NAME’S THE SAME

“ICE” PACK

SOURCE OF THE LATE NIGHT BIT

FUN WITH COLORS

THE SOUTH PACIFIC

                In case you’re wondering, ‘HOW TO DRAIN YOUR FLAGON”, was written on a game of beer-pong. By drunk man, exactly.

                The game starts as our returning champion picked “WRITERS FIRST N AME’S THE SAME”, continued by “ICE PACK”, “HOW TO DRAIN YOUR FLAGON”, “FUN WITH COLORS” (I’m disappointed, no Forrest Bounce in play.)  After Jenny finished “FUN WITH COLORS”, we moved to “THE SOUTH PACIFIC”. Addison found the Daily Double underneath the $ 1,000 clue.

Jenny Orr	Addison Godel	Jami Griffeth
$2,200	$3,800	$4,400

                She wagered $ 2,000. I’m having hard time reasoning why she played $ 2,000 only. For your information, out of four clues of “THE SOUTH PACIFIC”, she answered two clues

.

Clue: These stone statues seen throughout the islands may represent deified ancestors in Tahitian mythology & are often placed outside of temples as protection

                Addison: [Exhales] Um… what are idols?

                Alex       : No, what are tikis.

                Addison:  Oh!

Double Jeopardy! Round review:

                RELEASE THE CHIHUAHUA!

SAME FIRST & LAST LETTER

MYTH

IN SO MANY WORDS

LET’S DUKE IT OUT

A FIFTH OF (COLIN) FIRTH

GEOGRAPH-“E”

                They are three academic categories. I’m not a fan of this board.

                We started off with “GEOGRAPH-‘E’” and then continued with “MYTH”. Addison found the first daily double at “MYTH” for $ 1,200. She wagered $ 4,000. Big number.

Jenny Orr	Addison Godel	Jami Griffeth

Probability Win	5,79%	68,46%	25,74%
Randy's proj. score is 76% of Dan's proj. score Probability doesn't sum to 100% up due to rounding

                We predicted that Addison’s score will be around $ 19,600. Gobel’s score will be $ 15,000. That’s $ 4,600 difference, so $ 4,000 is an appropriate wager, given the fact that she didn’t have a computer to help her.

Clue: This Egyptian god's evil brother Set tricked him into lying down in a box that was thrown into the river

                Addison: Who is Osiris?

                Alex       : Don't you love it when you're able to drag some important bit of information out of thin air?

                After we finished the “MYTH” and moved to “SAME FIRST & LAST LETTER” then “LET’S DUKE IT OUT”, and Addison found the last Daily Double at $ 1,600 clue. She wagered $ 4,000. Another big one.

                Addison was well above the lock point, so $ 4,000 won’t hurt.

Clue: The Duke of Northumberland (1504-1553) arranged for his son to marry this unfortunate lady in 1553; oops

                Addison: Who Is Bloody Mary?

                Alex       : No. Who is Lady Jane Grey? Lady Jane Grey.

Double Jeopardy! Round result:

I really hope Addison wager a lot of money, $ 7,000 maybe?
