Went Richard III but considered Hotspur, was stuck on the 1812 Overture even though I knew it's not an opera. I didn't know Car 54 from the clue, though I've heard of it. I believe my total FJ count is exactly 11. (Verified: 5/8, 2/6, 4/6)

I watched all ten episodes, but I only watched one (Tuesday the 23rd) as it aired.

I'm pleased with the Götterdämmerung get in particular...really surprised no player got Malory...I would have remembered Hotspur 15-20 years ago cause I've seen all those plays...
Phlogiston is a great word I wish I had remembered...
I love the Car 54 theme...not to mention the late Fred Gwynne.
11/20 for the tournament...

Thought Jung would have been commenting on a Central European novel, not Joyce.
Got stuck thinking about North African cities and put down Casablanca. Should have gotten this one.
Did not get Car 54, would have thought it was older than 1963.
Missed one night of the run.
13 for 20 on FJ.

Too focused on northern Africa & the Middle East; bruised my forehead at the reveal of Da es Salaam. Got triple stumpers and missed a triple get. Yeesh.

Knew Volga was incorrect but couldn't remember Neva. All I had for Agnes Grey was "the one who isn't Charlotte or Emily."

Only watched a couple of full games, but saw at least the last third of every match.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

No chance on Hotspur. For a degree in English, I only had to take one advanced Shakespeare course, and the "comedies" one sounded less depressing than the "tragedies and histories" one.

Would have considered responding with "Acton Bell" to the Agnes Grey clue; would also have thought better of it. Anne is underrated.

13/20 overall for the Masters.

Why does the final choice specify ten episodes, but the penultimate choice asks about twenty? Shouldn't both be asking about all twenty? Or am I just misunderstanding something obvious again?

10 (hour long) episodes of 2 (half hour) games each.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

What was Mark thinking is almost always going to be the right answer and not confusion on your part. I'm sure I was getting mixed up myself with the 10 eps. and 20 games dynamics for polling purposes.

If both question asked about 10 episodes, that would make sense. But one asks about 20, the next about 10.
