I hear if you touch a dumb Jeoprady player, you might get leopardy. ---

I definitely think it was a poorly worded question (I couldn’t for the life of me remember where Ike was from because I thought it was referring to the 1957 President) and knowing that there’s a second answer that fits makes it even worse. ---

Ike was from Abilene, KS, and that’s where his presidential library is located. This couldn’t have been the answer, since the capital of Kansas is Topeka, but I fixated on Eisenhower too. ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > So that’s two more libraries in two more state capitals with two more Presidents (both of whom figured more prominently in the Civil Rights movement than Bill Clinton.) > > The clue wasn’t obvious. But nothing in the clue implied that the president in question figured in Civil Rights. Though I see how people can make that connection. I did before I rejected all the other possibilities. By the way all three contestants on the next day got the FJ question wrong also (I forget it) - but they were indeed dumb. It was an easy question. ---
