More information about Final Jeopardy:
One year after North Vietnam’s Lê Đức Thọ declined the prize, believing that Vietnamese peace did not yet exist, Eisaku Satō, who served as Prime Minister of Japan from 1964 to 1972, was awarded (and accepted) the Nobel Peace Prize (sharing the prize with Irish politician Seán MacBride). Satō was awarded the Prize for his introduction of Japan’s Three Non-Nuclear Principles – that being the non-production, non-possession, and non-introduction of nuclear weapons. During Satō’s Prime Ministership, Japan also entered the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

I guessed correctly since they are the only country to have seen the devastation first hand.
Well, well, well. Another new champion. If Jeopardy keeps having this 1-day curse, they will lose their mojo and ratings will drop.
Answer: Jeopardy and college basketball have this is common
Response: What are a lot of one and dones
It’s like the Carousel Of 1-Day Champions is afraid that if it does end, and we all want it to END at some point, people won’t look back at this as a Historical Event, when it’s really a Historical Event gone way wrong.
Maybe it will though. Tim had over $20,000 at the end of Double Jeopardy without finding a single Daily Double in the game. That’s actually pretty impressive. I am just hoping he can pull it off tomorrow though!
Keep your fingers crossed, John, and hope that Tim does pull through tomorrow.
Unfortunately again double digit TS clues and 2 missed DDs…but at least that was a quite impressive game by Tim. Maybe…..
I was taken aback when Molly, from Alberta, said she took part in Raleigh’s Krispy Kreme Doughnut Run. Until she said she attended Duke.
Molly isn’t the Albertan. Sharon is.
Game was rescheduled in L.A. due to coverage of the NFL Draft (local ABC affiliates showed ESPN draft coverage). Start time was shifted to 9 p.m., but the draft still ran long and Jeopardy began in progress, which by then was halfway through Double J. Oh well.
