Do you guys watch Sports Jeopardy? I suggest you check this week's episode out at least, if you don't. Anybody know where I can find that Mark Petro for a Hangout?
Do you guys remember Raghuveer Mukkamalla? He told me this week that he has redesigned his trivia website and also has new apps available for Android and Apple. If you try them, let me know what you think!
Yesterday, Mariusz Galczysnki won his first episode. I hope there will be more.

I don't know about you but I've never heard the word "Yankee" before this response, in Dinner & a Broadway Show: "It looks like someone's cooking this perfect Sunday supper that sometimes has 'Yankee' before its name."
I got this instantly though from the picture.I'm curious if you've heard it and if it's a regional thing.
Surprisingly, Aggie found the Daily Double of the round in 3 -Letter Words.
Mariusz 3000 (2 right)
Aggie 3400 (4 right)
Joel 3400 (3 right)
This category was easy, and I think I'd gotten them all to this point. Aggie wagered on this clue: "Of Chinese origin, in U.S. slang it originally referred to a craving for opium." Of course Aggie was right. Joel then went 4/5 in A Visit to Tesla to close out the round. And Mr. Trebek said, "Joel, you knew that" about the last clue, a triple-stumper.
Mariusz 3000
Aggie 4800
Joel 5400
The first clue of Double Jeopardy was a Daily Double, in Colorful Geography! It was Mariusz's, then. He wagered it all (hooray!) on this clue: "In the middle ages, this historic region of France included half of what is now Switzerland." Mariusz and I got it! No one was interested in finding Daily Doubles apparently, as all three stayed in the category. I got this triple-stumper on a guess: "This river& its chief tributary, the Vaal, form a drainage basin of around 330,000 square miles in southern Africa."
Joel found the next Daily Double in Music & Movies.
Mariusz 4800 (3 right and 2 wrong)
Aggie 9600 (5 right)
Joel 9000 (5 right and one wrong)
Joel wagered on this clue: "John Lennon said when this'came out in '65, I was actually crying out for' it." I got this, and Joel got it too. We didn't get a time-running-out warning, but there were 4 clues left on the board at the end of the round.
Mariusz 4800
Aggie 8000 (One right and 2 wrong)
Joel 15400 (4 right)
This was the Final Jeopardy category: 20th Century Novels. And this was the clue: "In 1940 House representative from Oklahoma Lyle Boren denounced it as a 'dirty, lying, filthy manuscript.'" I got this, and I'm glad Mariusz did. He doubled his score! Aggie was right too, and she added 7800. (Bye, Mariusz.) Joel was wrong and lost 601! Aggie is the new champ.
I only watched this episode once because I was in a hurry to get home for Thanksgiving. The point is, I didn't track my Coryat.
