This quote is from the 1926 book Winnie-the-Pooh, Chapter 6: In Which Eeyore Has A Birthday And Gets Two Presents.
I thought it was an easier Final Jeopardy! at home, but I also know that sometimes the show needs an easy Final like this in order to keep Final Jeopardy! strategy more balanced. Sometimes you get an easy Final, sometimes you get a hard one.
