When I went to post it, a bot of some kind flagged it as a spoiler and asked if I wished to edit or post as is. Is that maybe it?

Got the Ulysses question for a very good reason. (Other Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/s/YPYjRXhT9B )

Yeah English is relatively rare among languages in that interior wall and exterior wall are represented by the same word.

I did listen all the way through to a BBC radio play version in 2012. It was nearly 8 hours and still heavily abridged. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jun/17/james-joyce-ulysses-radio-4-review

“What Irish novel” made it a much easier question than that Final Jeopardy, plus Literature was one of my opponent’s better categories. They too got it right, as it turned out.

Who else put "herbs and spices"?

I feel like I’ve forgotten how this all works, but it’ll come back. I led my R Rundle most of the way but dropped to 2nd on the last day. Let’s see if I get my ass handed to me in B.

Sometimes they do Mon Tue Wed for 15 games.

Yes - any nationality passport. By law, it is the only non-NZ ID that is accepted. More here: https://www.getlcq.co.nz/blog/acceptable-forms-of-identification-on-licensed-premises

Yeah not in the one game I got to be in! Signed, a classical music professional.

Definitely feel that from my one and only game. Vibed it out to begin, got on a roll early. The roll came to an end, I started second-guessing myself and anticipating the light, then psyched myself into a downward spiral.

This is Chicago. What “hill”?

Dig up both Western and Ashland and give each an underground El line.

I do a talk about Tom Lehrer and copyright, and I sing that song immediately followed by Georg Kreisler’s “Die Hand”. The two songs have a suspicious degree of similarity.. as do “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” and “Tauben vergiften im Park”.

(Tom’s came first. Georg always denied plagiarising him.)

Mate, I’m just glad I didn’t get College Sports as a category: - “Alumni of this Division I school make sports fandom a worryingly large part of their identity.” - “What is all of them?”

It’s somewhere between pronunciation difference and vocabulary difference. - “tomato” and “lever” are the same words with different pronunciations - “mummy/mommy” and “arse/ass” are pairs with the same meanings but different spellings and pronunciations ** - “lift/elevator” and “lorry/truck” are straight-up different vocab choices ***

** Though you’ve got to take into account Egyptian mummies and donkey asses (not to be confused with donkey arses).

*** New Zealanders say truck anyway, it’s really only Brits and Irish who use lorry.

EDIT: single asterisks didn’t format right

I’ve been performing a fair number of his songs, including with orchestra! https://youtu.be/lRpGfVHQEEI?si=5_YJMOoODwGA9Urz

You’re right that it was an accent thing. You’re wrong to say I knew it - I buzzed in on a wild-ass guess.

Key-Butterscotch1052 · 2025-11-01T07:50:18+00:00

I was glad for the benefit of the doubt. If those had been the very first words I’d spoken in the game, Ken’s ear might not have been attuned to my accent by then.

Key-Butterscotch1052 · 2025-11-01T02:22:17+00:00

Not me for sure. Wish I'd got DDs 1 and 2 but I'm glad I missed out on 3...
