LANDMARKS
A WORLD OF CRAFTS, NO WAR
ON THE WHEATIES BOX
BREAKFAST
OF CHAMPIONS
Our champion got off to the best start, going 3/5 in LANDMARKS. However, Stacy managed to find her own mojo, getting 7 clues of her own by the first break! However, it was Brian who found the Daily Double, at the bottom of BREAKFAST! Scores:
Stacy $4,400
Brian $2,400
Alison $600
Brian bet $1,200. His clue: Patrick Towle honored Abraham Lincoln’s humble beginnings with the name of this syrup. His correct response put him at $3,600 and the game at its first break!
When playing “two truths and a lie” Brian chose “I once met Alex Trebek in an elevator” as his lie. It worked!
I’m proud to say I got WHEATIES $400 (1977: this decathlete & celebrity dad) off the first part and not the second!
On WHEATIES $1000 (1959: this swimmer & star of movies like “Million Dollar Mermaid”); Brian tried to defend his answer of Johnny Weissmuller as “close”; Alex had none of it!
By the end of J! round, the scores were:
Brian $6,000
Alison $5,000
Stacy $4,400
DJ! round categories:
STICK IT
LITERARY SHIPPING
DETROIT ROCK CITY
WHAT AN ARTIST DIES IN ME!

THE ONLY PRESIDENT WHO…
There was no interest in Daily Double hunting in this round! The first Daily Double went Alison’s way, under PRESIDENT $1600! Scores:
Brian $10,400
Alison $9,000
Stacy $6,800
Alison bet $2,000. Her clue: …is interred in Washington, D.C. (at Washington National Cathedral). She went for John Adams and fell to $7,000.
Stacy got to the final Daily Double, under LITERARY SHIPPING $1600! Scores:
Brian $11,200
Alison $11,000
Stacy $8,000
Stacy bet $1,000. Facepalm. Her clue: In a C.S. Forester novel, Charlie Allnutt pilots this title craft on the Ulanga River. She drew a blank and fell to $7,000.
Over the final 5 clues, Brian picked up $4,000 (to Alison’s $400) to get a bit of a lead going into Final!
Scores going into Final:
Brian $15,200
Alison $11,400
Stacy $8,600
FJ! category: DOGS & GEOGRAPHY
FJ! clue: In 2001 the names of these 2 breeds came together in the new official name of a Canadian province
Stacy 8600 – 0 = 8600
Alison 11400 + 7000 = 18400
Brian 15200 – 7800 = 7400
Alex joked at Brian’s response “I just bought a Nuna; $1500!”
Alison’s our new champ; she’ll be back Monday to defend!
