Given the date/moon landing anniversary, I am surprised that the FJ wasn’t related in some way to the Apollo landing
There was a DD which addressed the Apollo Missions.
A shoutout to Roey Hader, though bounced off the show yesterday, his 57 correct answers in 2 games is second only to Ken Jennings (61) and Frank Jackson (59) among the Ultra-Champs (10+ wins), even better than James’s 55. I’m guessing his 27 correct are the most in losing. But alas he’s not a Ultra Champ, just one and done, though his buzzer speed showed Ultra Champ potential.
Answering my own speculation: Ken had 29 correct (but 5 wrong) in his final loss. James had 26 correct and none wrong when he lost. I’ll assume Ken has the record for most correct in a loss, while James has the most correct, without any incorrect while losing.
Dave Stern (http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3187) and Tim Anderson (http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=4210) both got 29 right and none wrong when losing. Tim had a $24,000 Coryat, which must be one of the highest losing Coryats.
Congrats to yet another champ and have a great and safe weekend everybody!!!
The clues were mean to Kathleen.
So did Kathleen not make it to FJ!?
Go Jason! He’s tried out nine times to get on Jeopardy and I hope he makes the most of it.
