[ToLiveIsToFly]

Please read the rules, blah blah blah.

After today's questions, this coming Monday's FJ category will be revealed. You can put your wager in the Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday threads. If you bet more than you end up having, I'll round down to what you have.

Single Jeopardy: "Born to Run"
$200 - Winner of four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, much to the consternation of the host Head of State

$400 - In addition to winning the Olympic 100 Meters, he also won 4 consecutive gold medals in the long jump

$600 - He won the Olympic marathon in 1960 while running barefoot and in 1964 six weeks after his appendix was removed

$800 - In 1964, as a high school student, he ran the mile in under 4 minutes. Later he ran for, and won, a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives

$1000 - Her collision with Mary Decker in the 1984 Olympics might well not have been her fault

Double Jeopardy - "Math Tricks"
$400 - To multiply single-digit numbers by this number, hold up both hands, and fold down the finger corresponding to the number you're multiplying by.

$800 - To see if a number is a multiple of one of these two single-digit numbers, add the digits and see if the sum is a multiple.

$1200 - Depending on which school you attended, you may have learned "SOH-CAH-TOA" or "Oliver Has a Heap of Apples" as mnemonics for computing these three functions of an angle in a right triangle.

$1600 - Six and twenty-eight are examples of this type of number whose factors (except for the number itself) add up to the number.

$2000 - Legend has it this mathematician's teacher tried to kill some time by having him add the numbers 1 to 100. He derived the triangular number formula and frustrated the teacher by finishing in mere instants.
