Jeopardy! recap for Wed., Apr. 24 – Let’s meet today’s contestants:

– Wayne, an engineer from Indiana, is in bands called String Theory and Yo-Yo Pa;
– Silvija, a copy editor from New York, missed out on a chance to dance in Madison Square Garden due to a Knicks trade; and
– James, a professional sports gambler from Nevada, thinks local charities need part of his winnings more than his family. James is a 14-day champ with winnings of $1,061,554.

For the second straight game, James had $20,000 after round one, but in DJ was limited to only scoring on DD3. Heading into FJ it was James with $49,621 vs. $12,400 for Wayne and $2,400 for Silvija.

DD1, $800 – CAR TALK – The 2015 50th anniversary edition of this pony car was limited to a production run of 1,964 (James pushed for $9,200 and was correct.)

DD2, $1,200 – SCIENCE CENTRAL – The nucleolus is really central as the most prominent structure in the nucleus of this (Wayne won $2,200 on a true DD.)

DD3, $800 – ROMAN NAMES – If Libertus were part of your name, you were previously one of these (James picked up $10,021 from his total of $24,000.)

FJ – GEOGRAPHIC NICKNAMES – This term for an area of the Atlantic originated in 1964 in Argosy, a pulp magazine

Everyone was correct on this very easy FJ, with James adding $24,000 to win with $73,621 and a 15-day total of $1,135,175.

Triple Stumper of the day: No one figured out that the Ferrari model that translates to “red head” is Testarossa.

Judging the audience: James consecutively ran a pop music category but did not receive a round of applause.

This day in Trebekistan: Alex played soothsayer again, discussing weeks in advance how James has both a loyal fan following and detractors who think he’s “won enough”.

Correct Qs:
DD1 – What is the Mustang?
DD2 – What is a cell?
DD3 – What is a slave?
FJ – What is the Bermuda Triangle?
