Who is Muhammad?
AH stands for “Anno Hegirae”, or “in the year of the Hijrah”, similar to the Christian AD. It commemmorates the secret journey of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina (at the time Yathrib), to escape a plot to assassinate him.
1439 AH lasts, per the Gregorian calendar, from September 21, 2017 to September 10, 2018.

Wilbur should’ve been at the champ’s podium today.
If he just had written :What is “Sgt. Pepper”, he would be, since that response
was accepted in an earlier game.I hope they bring him back. By rule he may have been wrong (since he tried the whole name)but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth, rule or not.
In a lot of cases, the contestant that benefits from this type of ruling will go on a winning streak of multiple games. Kiana has 2 at this point and congrats to her. However, I agree with you 100%, Dal.
And you too, John!!
She has greater than a 43.05% chance to win 3 games. She is good, very good.
13 years’ worth of data is usually a reasonably good predictor here.
Especially considering her mid-20s on the signalling device. That’s a few points below average.
But as Buzzy showed during the ToC, there are a lot more than analytics. We shall see.
I liked Wilbur and wish he could have returned as champ, but his answer for FJ was clearly wrong. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart” connotes a completely different title while “Sgt. Pepper” is a commonly used substitute for the proper title. While it was disappointing, it was clearly the correct ruling. The song itself had nothing to do with a lonely heart… however I’ll admit the song that followed it, “With a Little Help From My Friends,” actually did and was introduced as being sung by Billy Shears, the lead singer for the band. Maybe the judges could take that into consideration when considering inviting Wilbur back to the show.
