For alliterative purposes purely. I probably would have said "tremolo" otherwise. I am glad to have your correction. I hope Jeopardy!, in asking for another name of the whammy bar, would not neg "vibrato".

If anybody has a trick I'll second the request for secrets.
...
Opal is iridescent. Onyx looks shiny.
Actually, my thought when the picture was displayed was, "Well, that looks pretty opalescent to me."
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

If opals are opalescent and pearls are pearlescent then are onyxes onyxescent?

Not to make you feel worse, but...
Modern formulations of Newton’s 2 most famous equations both begin with this quantity that’s measured in Newtons
No worries. I appreciate the correction. Gotta remember to read these clues more carefully.

I'm terrible at science, but I do take pride in at least knowing F = ma off the top of my head.
My lucky numbers are 6, 66, and 666.

Possibly. If convicts are convalescent.

It looks like the last time was February 12 (Ken #25, with an assist from Dr. Markaisa Black), and before that was October 6 (this time, Ken was the guest presenter). It happened in back-to-back episodes in September 2018 but only once between May 2015 and May 2017. On April 3 of last year, the rightmost 15 clues were played first in both the J and DJ rounds.

Thanks. Uncommon though not as rare as I might have guessed.

For $1200 and $1600 the Emmy win and the HBO show probably helped more people get to the right responses than the movies.

I'd be surprised if the Emmy win was more helpful to more people. Emmy winners in the guest stars category doesn't seem like common knowledge.

Unbreakable with Bruce Willis is pretty well known. It was one of M. Night Shyamalan's first films before they went way downhill. It ended up being a prequel for Glass and Split which also makes it relevant nowadays.

I was thinking more of the kind of people who memorize facts like Emmy winners. To me it was a nice supplement to the movie name helping me to solidify the right choice. No question Unbreakable is far from an obscure movie. Though I never thought Shyamalan went that far uphill, so... :geek:
