Jeopardy's Best 3 is leaving me in the dust.

[3catwoman3]

I think I have gotten 2 - about Etch a Sketch and Debbie Dingle.

Make that 3 - one about Nichelle Nichols and Star Trek!

[Ohiogal]

1. They are sharp, that's for sure!

[3catwoman3]

2. They were so fast in the triple rhyme category in the first game...

...that my eyes were bugging out.

And, I did not know that there were any human remains on the moon.

[Ohiogal]

3. Those triple rhyming ones

and before-and-after clues are HARD! My mind can’t work that fast!

I had no idea there are human remains on the moon, either!

7. It is a very rare event for me to solve those

Tonight was no different

[CTyankee]

8. I'd like to know the back story on that. My guess is that an astronaut honored this person's wish

to have his remains placed, strewn (?) on the moon's surface. That's my guess...

[Harker]

9. Some of Eugene Shoemaker's ashes made it

aboard Lunar Prospector.

4. I got 10 correct, eight in a row.

Personal best.

5. Well, then -

(10 - count ‘em)

[malaise]

6. That was unbelievable

Ken won the first night by $200 - I loved the spirit of the competition.

10. I've been doing quite well despite not being able to beat them ONCE to respond

Those guys are fast, Baby!

I understood the material was supposed to be a lot tougher for this tournament, but I think it's just marginally harder.

11. k. and r.

12. What was the Nichelle Nichols clue/answer? n/t

[3catwoman3]

13. I don't recall the exact wording, but it ...

...was along the line of “Martin Luther King convinced her to stay on Star Trek because she would be such a good role model.”

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

14. I like that story

[malaise]

15. Tonight is even better - spoiler

Watching Ken do a James after James did a James was too good.

[Dem2theMax]

16. My brain hurt watching the first episode.

I was able to get some of the answers. Or should I say questions?

But I'm very embarrassed to say that I had no idea there were human remains on the moon. And I'm a space nut. How did I not know that?

[malaise]

17. Jeopardy keeps me real

I have good days and bad days but I learn all the time.

Great games tonight.

[Dem2theMax]

18. Same here. I do notice that my brain used to work a lot faster!

Oh the joys of getting older. 🤪

I've got a little over an hour before the show is on in my time zone. Can't wait to see it!

[madamesilverspurs]

19. I think I've gotten six right

over both days. Those guys are way deep in esoterica, and scary fast. Fun to watch, though.
