Knew they wanted the Cooper/Gaga duet. Knew they wanted the Percy Jackson author. Guess Pratt of Pratt & Whitney.

I'm interested in how few folks got the Lincoln clue. I've read a lot about the assassination, including the scene at the deathbed (I love this article about what was said in the room)-

I've been to Ford's Theatre and I'm pretty sure I saw the bedroom where he died, so I was there, yet I couldn't come up with this name, and once I heard it I didn't exactly think "Of course!" The name hasn't made the impression that Ford's Theatre has...

Yep. Like you, I've been to both, but had no memory of the guy's name.

Started off with what could have been a terrible week that turned into a merely mediocre week. I am very slightly relieved to see that only a little more than a third got the Rick Riordan clue.

Barely escaped an incorrect blurt with "Upton Sinclair. NO! WAIT! LEWIS!" a couple of microseconds before time expired.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

I changed from Vietnam to Japan to Vietnam on Thursday, and from Rolls to Aston on Friday. I blame sports (and preemptions therefrom).
