DD2 – $1,600 – ALTERNATE HISTORY BOOKS – In a novel by E.B. Lomax, this man who helped lead the Arab revolt against the Ottomans survives his motorcycle crash but with no memories (Celeb improved by $5,000 to $13,000.)

Final Jeopardy!

Judging the producers: In HOMOPHONES, for the clue “hypocritical talk & is not competent”, the on-screen graphic showed “CANT/KANT”, but it should have been “CANT/CAN’T”.
Correct Qs: DD1 – What is liken/lichen? DD2 – What is “Lawrence of Arabia”? DD3 – What are czar and kaiser? FJ – What is the First Folio?
