Final Jeopardy!

ANIMALS IN SCIENCE – The first mammal species sent on a rocket to space, it’s perhaps more famous for an antigen in its blood

Sam and Enzo were correct on FJ.

That’s before their time: No one could identify “Little House on the Prairie” and “Highway to Heaven” star Michael Landon.

Judging the writers: Based on clue valuation, they apparently think “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight” is a more well-known movie reference than “Rosebud”.

Final scores for game one: Drew 5,000, Sam 3,400, Enzo 21,800.

Correct Qs: DD1 – What is Pikes Peak? DD2 – What are Oxbridge & Camford? DD3 – What is “Oz”? FJ – What is a rhesus monkey (rhesus macaque)?
