My apologies for the delay of this recap!

Tuesday’s game saw the following Final:

Category: FOOD & DRINK

Clue: A sign of a trend, in 2010 this product passed Pepsi to move into the No. 2 spot in U.S. soft drink popularity

Eugene Chuang 6600 – 3600 = 3600
Robin Raffer 12800 – 8000 = 4800
Andrew Moore 17700 + 7901 = 25601 (2-day total, $56,802)

His challengers for Wednesday: Ravi Saxena and Henry Watkins!

J! round categories:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
IN THE SPORTS MOVIE’S CAST
BLANK VERSE
WEIGHTS & MEASURES
GOV.
2 Js

Andrew seems to enjoy, once again, hopping all over the board! Midway through the round, the board looked like Swiss cheese! The Daily Double was in WHERE ARE YOU FROM $1000 and Andrew got to play it. Scores were:

Andrew $3,200
Henry $1,400
Ravi $1,000

His bet was $2,500. Clue: If you’re a Crucian, you’re from this U.S. Virgin Island. His correct response put him at $5,700!

At the first break, it was all Andrew; the scores were:
Andrew $7,300
Ravi $2,800
Henry $1,800

Coming out of the break, Henry and Ravi were able to get in a few times! Andrew continued his domination of the game, though! Scores after the J! round:

Andrew $10,300
Ravi $3,800
Henry $2,800

DJ! round categories:
ASTRONOMERS
“PAN” HANDLING
PAINTING & SCULPTURE
RELATIVE-ITY
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE

PAINTING & SCULPTURE $2000 had the first Daily Double; Andrew got to play it, with scores at:
Andrew $11,900
Henry $4,000
Ravi $3,800

His bet: $4,000. His clue: The Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, displays art by 3 generations of this family. Another correct response from Andrew put him at $15,900!

Once Andrew regained control, he started hopping over again, and eventually found the final Daily Double at ASTRONOMY $1600 while running away with the game! Scores were:

Andrew $23,100
Henry $6,400
Ravi $1,000

Andrew bet just $2,000. His clue: A type of this astronomical object is named for Karl Schwarzschild; his name should give you a hint. Another correct response (I didn’t get this one!) put him at $25,100. This guy is good!

Disappointingly, Ravi seemed very disinterested and bored by the end of this game. Henry did his best to avoid a runaway by Andrew, though!

Scores going into FJ!
Andrew $28,700
Henry $12,400
Ravi $3,000

FJ! category: WAR NOVELS

FJ! clue: Appropriately, the sound of musketry & artillery is described as “a crimson roar” in this story

Ravi 3000 + 2900 = 5900
Henry 12400 + 12000 = 24400
Andrew 28700 + 3800 = 32500 (3-day total, $89,302)
