[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Correct Response/Question’]What is Quantico, Virginia?[/spoiler]
Located in Virginia’s Prince William County, the town of Quantico, population 480 in the 2010 census, is bordered on three sides by MCB Quantico. It’s the home of many major Marine and FBI training facilities (among other things), and in popular culture is the setting of Criminal Minds, CSI: Cyber, and Quantico.

Miscellany:
and again only one correct and a new champ. no repeat. how can you miss QUANTICO. every action or cop show/series (ncis etc) mentions it at least every other time…)and also again the previous champ finishes dead last. makes you long for ken jennings…!
John:
I completely whiffed on Quantico. It’s not as easy as you make it out to be. Well done for getting it!
Am I crazy or was the clue wrong on the one where the answer was “Dr. Livingston I presume?” I think it asked for a four LETTER greeting, and she answered “ciao” …the answer was four WORDS.
Stephanie answered with four letters to a clue that asked for four words.
(Sometimes that happens where the contestants misread the clue. It’s a pressure cooker up there on stage!)
I heard what you heard. I wasn’t reading it and don’t have the dvr on but I sure wanted to rewind.
Here’s the clue screenshot. Alex says “4 word” as well.
Yep! I found (link redacted). Funny how your brain hears what it expects. Maybe I’ve been on the receiving end of too many 4 letter greeting in my time.

This was a weeklong shutout for our leaders heading into Final Jeopardy!
My pleasure to help! Working the stats was all you as I’m not a stats guy, but I’d gladly watch Jeopardy! for free! (Wait, I already do!)
