I got two triple stumpers today on J!

#1 Post by SportsFan68 » Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:57 pm

I got two triple stumpers today on Jeopardy!

I can't remember the first one, but it was one of those where they probably woulda got it too if they'd been alive as long as I have.

The other one, I never woulda got without the Bored. I don't remember the clue exactly; it was something about "The Kiss" plus the secondary information that helps you get it, and the answer was Gustav Klimt.

I tried to find the original thread that educated me about Klimt, but there were several, and I gave up.

I gotta tell y'all. SteelersFan is not impressed, and Casey and Annie think that anything not involving treats or walks isn't worth much.

Except for one of Frank's games, the discussions here started with Rafferty's appearance ($25k), subsequent analysis and lb13's avatar commemorating her run.

Didn't PSM also have a Klimt question on BAM or J!?

I knew none of you would be impressed, so I'm fine with that. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due for knowing about Klimt.

It might have been more impressive, had you remembered what was the question... :)

CO geography - Meh!
Theoretical physics - Impressive!
