Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge September 2015
Is it possibly irony that this book was likely a satire that never was understood?

Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge September 2015
They sure did. Plus, the defending champ, the doable blonde chick, would've won had she bet smart, but she wagered all she had. I just don't understand how many people on the show fail to apply basic wagering strategy, particularly defending champs.

Got the election, and not the Jefferson one.
Regarding "The Prince," I learned that it wasn't a satire... but a "how to" document written by Machiavelli in an effort to get a job and to get himself out of the political doghouse.

I just overthought this and locked up. The correct answer came to me immediately, but I started thinking no actual bill/law would've had a name like that; a more official sounding name, like the Fugitive Slave Act or the Kansas-Nebraska Act must be the answer.
