Aha, he's called Don Corleone, not Godfather at the end. It's on YouTube and everything.

Wrong. It's illegal to post movie clips without the permission of the copyright owner, but it's not the watcher's legal responsibility to determine whether the poster had permission or not.

How do you know they're "unauthorized"? Youtube routinely takes down copyright violations as soon as they are informed of them or discover them in other ways. It's therefore reasonable for the viewer to assume that if it's there, it's been allowed by the owner, since the viewer has no way to investigate that for himself.

I am very angry about tonight's final Jeopardy

category: Oscar Hyphenates


what the fuck does that even mean?


clue: This actor has never been nominated for acting–he won, though, as a writer for 1997 & as a producer for 2012


I am thinking maybe it means an actor with a hyphenated name? One contestant thought like that because she said Daniel Day-Lewis


Correct response: Who is Ben Affleck?

what the fuck he doesn't have a hyphenated name


I look up the word hyphenates


https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hyphenate#Derived_terms

A person with multiple duties or abilities, such as "writer-director", "actor-model", or "singer-songwriter".



oh ok I guess that's technically correct but who the heck has ever heard that term. I feel like it was deliberately being ambiguous

and nobody got final Jeopardy right so it's not just me who is confused


so it's either

[1] Jeopardy wrote a misleading unclear clue using an obscure meaning of a word no one knows

or

[2] I am wrong and irrationally angry for not getting a Jeopardy clue right

Someone on Jeopardy literally thought the first Soviet space probe to land on another planet and send back images landed on Mars. I don't know why he wasn't laughed out of the room immediately and replaced with a more worthy contestant.

Julie $7,200 + $0 = $7,200
John $13,800 + $1,000 = $14,800
Haley $14,400 + $13,000 = $27,400 (1-day total: $27,400)



scores going into final

Julie: 7200
John: 13800
Haley 14400


so the smart move for John is to wager everything, and Haley should wager 13201 to cover John doubling his score

but Haley only wagered 13000

what the fuck was she thinking? haley could have lost going into final with the lead if John had wagered right


it makes absolutely no sense only to wager 13000 and not add the extra 201

I have a similar concern about Watson not being there, perhaps because he is robotic.

In truth I'm guessing that Watson isn't there because it has not yet been programmed to creatively dis Buzzy.

team Brad won the all star tournament

Brad Rutter himself cemented the victory with a great double jeopardy round and bold daily double wagers

he once again showed his excellence as the best Jeopardy player of all time

I don't often agree with Trebeck, but it would have been more interesting if he bet it all at the end of the first day and set a new one day record.

I guess it depends on how you define "1 episode"

John Carpenter came on near the end of the episode only answered a couple questions on the first episode of his run before time ran out and he came back the next day

You aren't allowed to use wikipedia in school because Big Education doesn't want people to know the facts or how to invent them.

I can't believe they're literally delaying jeopardy so they can show teams picking new sports players. It's not even a game or anything.

Besides, no #1 pick has ever amounted to anything in the history of the NFL

Yes, the 3rd brightest object in the sky after the sun and moon wasn't discovered until 1781.

we're currently in the 2-weeks teachers tournament and it's so boring after watching a few weeks of James killing it scoring 100k every night


Today Sara had a 2000 lead over second place, 11600 to 9600, and she hit the daily double on the last clue of double jeopardy, wagered 2000, and got it wrong

so she went into final with a tie rather than the lead

why the f--k would you do that? why not wager 1999 or 1000 to ensure you still go into final with the lead?


People have written editorials complaining that James is ruining the game by playing well and using math

https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonews...f172739ff.html

but I'd much rather watch someone who actually understands the strategy than the boring people in the teachers tourney

I thought today's Final clue was pretty vaguely written

"If you were using an alternate name, the title of this work could be translated as “Troy Story”"

obviously they were going for the Iliad, but couldn't you have answered any ancient work about Troy and they would have to accept it?

it's just another cutesy clue to try to appeal to millennials during the teen tournament who are fans of 25 year old movies
