Got that one but wtf was the previous one? There's the McLaughlin Group, there's the Spencer Davis Group, there's the Group of 8. There is not the Peanuts Group.

Painfully obvious. Have we gone back to the teen tournament?

Jeopardy! clues about the civil rights movement tend to be easy and obvious, particularly for final.

Monday's first round categories had a bunch that would've been in my wheelhouse. Who Wants a Beer. French Occupation. Big Bats of Baseball. And with the "D.H." category, there were 2 Triple Stumpers I was yelling at my screen. "Dag Hammersjold, dammit!" "Dashiel fucking Hammet!" Why couldn't have I gotten those?

LUCY: Issue One. The Kite-Eating Tree, malicious plant-life or mere scapegoat... LINUS VAN PELT!

LINUS: It seems like it has a vendetta against Charlie Br--

LUCY: WRONG! Schroeder!

SCHROEDER: Well, you have to admit that it does catch a lot of kites.

LUCY: That it does... SALLY BROWN!

SALLY: I don't know, but I think your brother is dreamy --

LUCY: WRONG! Linus is not dreamy, and the Kite-Eating Tree is fed because Charlie Brown is a blockhead. Issue Two. The Red Baron, real threat or a figment of a stupid beagle's imagination... LINUS VAN PELT!...

Well we know someone who wasn't in Model UN in high school.

I think UN Secretaries-General was a SwampCrash question. Him and Trygvie Lye ended up being high answers because SwampCrash.

Question should have been "name the leader of a black movement in the 1960s who wasn't MLK".
