I thought we were going to see something special after the J! round with James setting a record and the other 2 contents doing abysmally in comparison. By not getting any of the Daily Doubles in DJ! it shows how much luck does play a role in this game. He was well on his way to smashing the one-day total again.

Well, would you look at that? Nice catch! What made you think to check? I hope the Wieners call up Jeopardy! and make them issue a retraction.

My friend, an opera snob, gleefully reported that the opera twitterverse was up in arms over Jeopardy!'s egregious error. I had to go to the source and see for myself.

I'm guessing the clue writer's eyes just skipped down a line. The number is right, it's just the city that's one off. But yeah, this one's a softball for the fact checker. The clue pins the number and city to a specific website. All you have to do is go to that website and make sure the writer didn't muff it.morbeedo wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 11:12 amMy friend, an opera snob, gleefully reported that the opera twitterverse was up in arms over Jeopardy!'s egregious error.

Probably because they'd need to use the Cyrillic alphabet for the Russian spelling of Moscow.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2019 11:12 pmi see they also go with the localized praha for prague and munchen for munich...why do they do that for some cities and not all world cities?CasketRomance wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2019 11:08 pmwhy do they go with the german wien for vienna and not the russian for moscow and st petersburg?

If you check the last few years, Moscow leads in all except that one. Could be they just missed that they weren't on top in 17/18, but still, yeah, fact check ...opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 11:38 amI'm guessing the clue writer's eyes just skipped down a line.
