> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > Game 5: Bet $14,000, answered correctly Going into FJ, Suresh had $14,195, while one of the challengers had $26,400. Obviously the challenger missed, allowing Suresh to win the game. BTW, the FJ category was Women in Mythology. The final clue read: The name of this woman, the product of an incestuous union, means “against birth.” The correct response was Antigone. I had absolutely no clue. ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > While we are talking about triple-stumpers, I was very surprised that nobody knew “Black Beauty”. Someone did answer “Black Beauty”. But the correct answer was “The Black Stallion” - which the clue listed as “maybe the second-best known horse tale with black in the title”. ---

I guessed Antigone, thinking gonad. But I wasn’t 100% sure. A number of the misses surprised me, but of course the show can be pretty random. ---

I guessed Antigone, mainly because it was the only name I could think of that started with “Anti” (figured it wasn’t Anti Em 😉 ) Brian ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > I have no clue what that is. “Be absolved?” I dunno, just guessing a two-word religiousy “B.A.” term. Born Again.

Maybe they were too young to heard of Seattle Slew – but triple crown? Washington State? OK not SUPER obvious, but I figured it out. I also knew “chrysanthemum” is connected to the Japanese throne. Brian ---

> [@Arcite](#): > > I wouldn’t say you have to have any religious observance, Bible knowledge, or identify as Christian to have heard the phrase “born again” in the context of Christianity. You asked to fill in a phrase in a Bible verse, not to have just heard the term “born again.” Not sure why you are being so difficult in this. The beginning of the Lord’s Prayer is way way **way** more well known that the other verse you quoted. ---

I counted 13 triple stumpers in tonight’s show (8 in the first round, 4 in DJ, FJ. I got 6 of them right. (My FJ guess was Ilya Kuryakin but I realized he debuted earlier.) ---

After having recently finished watching the entire run of Star Trek:TOS, I’m ashamed I didn’t come up with Chekov. I had no response. I was trying to think of _lead_ characters, but that’s no excuse. ---

I had yesterday’s Final Jeopardy spoiled. I went to the J-Archive site to look for something, and the front page already had that day’s FJ clue visible, except I didn’t realize it was for the show that would be on that evening. I read the clue and said “who is Checkov?” So I did get it correct, but not under game conditions. ---
