I love it how you just came out of nowhere and nailed it. Heck, you could have just played the last five minutes and beaten everyone (maybe).

Points:

naf 3500  
delores 3200  
samarm 1700  
indistinguishable 1100  
Sternvogel 1000  
faithfool 500  
santo 400  
frosted glass 0  
shibboleth - 400  
Should I do Final Jeopardy? I haven’t since Jeopardy 1… Usually I just let whoever has the most points after DJ be the winner.

Also, I think **ShibbOleth** and **Sternvogel** hold the record of being the only two (so far) who have played (I.E. supplied at least one answer) in all four of my Jeopardy’s (which spans over three or four years).

At least, I think they do.

That’s impressive.

**ShibbOleth** was the winner of one of them, I remember.

Thats enough for me. So, when do I collect my money? 😉

Thanks for the game Idle! 🆒

I would do final I guess, but I like that I am the winner right now, so I will say no. 😛

Thanks for the game Idle. Today was so slow at work it hurt me. This was great.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to get into that one when it starts. 🆒 Glad I was able to keep my streak alive, even if I only put in a token appearance at the end.

That was a lot of fun! Thanks, **Idle**. Too bad I had to leave work at 5:00. 😉 I coulda been a contendah!

I knew I did well in one, but didn’t recall that I’d won it. Maybe I built a big early lead and missed the end. Certainly did help me much in this one, but like **Sternvogel** implied it’s an honor just to play.
