Final Jeopardy: People of Europe (3-12-12)
The Final Jeopardy question (3/12/2012) in the category “People of Europe” was:
These people who ruled large parts of Spain before Celtic & Roman dominance left their name on the land.
Two day champ Jessamine Price came back today to attempt to add to her $19,202 winnings. She will need to beat these two players to get some more dough: Reid Rodgers from North Platte, NE, and Richard Elepano from New York, NY.
Reid found the Jeopardy! Daily Double in the category “Presidential Artifacts.” He had $1,000 when he found it, but was docked on an $800 question for saying “Wimbleton” rather than “Wimbledon.” Jeez. Well, he still had the ability to risk $1,000. He did and he was RIGHT.
Documents relating to these agreements, the framework for peace in the Middle East, are at the Carter Library. show
Reid finished in first place with $8,000. Richard was next with $5,200 and Jessamine was in last place with $4,200.
In Double Jeopardy!, Richard found the first Daily Double in “We Love You, Conrad.” He just took over the lead by knowing a bunch of FBI TV shows and had $10,800, $1,600 more than Reid. He bet $1,200 and he was close with Apollo 11 but he was WRONG.
As a part of this 1969 mission, Charles ‘Pete’ Conrad became the third man to walk on the moon. show
Once again we will have to content ourselves with one Daily Double in the second round since the contestants left it uncovered somewhere under the last 4 clues in “Herr Band” or possibly the $1,200 clue in “Zoology.”
Richard finished in the lead with $11,600. Reid was next with $10,800 and Jessamine had $9,400.
NONE of the players got Final Jeopardy! right.
WHO ARE IBERIANS?
“The Iberian peninsula enters written records as a land populated largely by the Iberians, Basques and Celts. After an arduous conquest, the peninsula came under the rule of Rome. During the early Middle Ages it came under Germanic rule but later, it was conquered by Moorish invaders from North Africa. …” (wikipedia)”
Jessamine wrote down “the Basques” but again went with a low bet strategy. She lost $1,799 and finished with $7,601.
As you can see, the Basques were around but they don’t call it the Basque Peninsula.
Reid wrote down “Hibernians” which he tried to change to Iberians, but left the “r” in there so it cost him $9,000. He finished with $1,800.
Richard also went with the Basques. His $10,001 bet left him with $1,599, thus, Jessamine’s low bet strategy prevailed once again.
Jessamine’s 3-day total is $26,803. She always has that extra buck in there, so if she wins tomorrow, wanna bet her total ends in 4?
