Final Jeopardy! Challenge, November and TOC '19
Big win for Pru winning October! New month, and yesterday started the Tournament of Champions.
Friday, November 1:
CATEGORY: RELIGION
CLUE: This denomination took its name from this day, as told in the New Testament, when the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles
ANSWER:
Monday, November 4, Tournament of Champions Quarterfinal 1:
CATEGORY: ANCIENT HISTORY
CLUE: According to Herodotus, a messenger was sent 150 miles from Athens to Sparta, just before this 490 B.C. battle
ANSWER: So I missed them both, L-Jam 0-2
And it looks like they are pumping it up to All-Madden level. Opera and Ballet in already a category, although there were a couple easier ones. There should be a Wild Card coming from this game.

Wednesday, November 6, ToC Quarterfinals Day 3
CATEGORY: 20TH CENTURY AMERICA
CLUE: In 1939, turned down by 2 local theaters, Howard University was able to get an outdoor venue for this singer's yearly concert
ANSWER: Anyway, today James Holzhauer played, and to really no one's suprise, had the win locked up by FJ. One of the categories by total coincidence was "'ALL' IN", his catch phrase for Daily Doubles. At least I think it was coincidence. Because before a regular game is played, that day's categories are picked by lot; each taping of 5 games has 6 games at the ready, and the producers select which game by the contestants taking a numbered card at random. I assume they do the same for the Tourneys, albeit with tougher boards.
So I got that one right and move back to .500
