More information about Final Jeopardy:
I always like wordplay clues here at The Jeopardy! Fan! All sodium citrates consist of sodium (Na), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Trisodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7) is often added as an emulsifier to cheese, which assists in melting the cheese as described in the clue.
Have you ever wondered why I put self-references into my “more information” here? It’s because there are unscrupulous website operators out there who like to lift information from here without giving attribution or credit.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $370 has been raised.)

I wondered where he came up with Nancy. It’s Sodium, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Yttrium.
Maybe Sodium(Natrium), Nitrogen and got Cyanide wrong???? Just kidding.
I like cyanide. Thanks for the humor.
My pleasure….(I like black humor)also looks we are stuck on an average 3 unplayed clues per game…
Andy:
Your stats on “in first on buzzer” are out of whack (it looks as if you repeated the same score on two contestants). Also, the total Coryat score is $10,000 off.
