Got FJ on a guess. Read the story in high school but that was a long time ago.

I do think the host should remind players of the DD rules. Always hated Alex mentioning scores. No big deal if it is 25,000/$2,000/$1,000 and he says it is a runaway. But if it is $23,400/$11,800 /$9,000 it is a big deal if he says it is not quite one.

Yes, they do.

The word in German is krepiert, which apparently can mean exploded, or "informally," dead.

Interesting stuff -- thanks for researching and sharing.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

:roll: Well I know what it means now. And how to spell it.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

There was a professor I knew in college and the first time I met him in his office he asked me if I wanted to write about somebody's oeuvre and he pronounced it ehhhhhhhv complete with exaggerated French pursed lips. Pursed lips. I wanted to fall apart laughing but managed to suppress it. Under his sponsorship, I eventually got paid to write about the writers oeuvre.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
