I think the biggest thing that helped me this game was the fast start. After getting off to the slow start in the first game, I felt it was key to keep the rhythm going.
As for the “Final Jeopardy!” question, I was doing the historical math to figure out the it was the Great Chicago Fire. I thought initially “Earthquakes” and the “Fire” as the disasters and narrowed it down form there.
