Given the new champ's hair, I found it fitting there was a "Mutt" category.

I like both co-champs but how on earth was Jackie Robinson a triple stumper?
both champs are better than me but that was an insta get.

Asian seems to have good strategic sense and advanced because he Chu'd the FJ wager. Don't like Mr. 2k, the other co-champ. Hope Asian wipes the floor with him in rematch.

Could have stared at my keyboard for another hour and not got that FJ right.

I can't be the only one who thought the answer was "sh*t" (even though I obviously knew that couldn't be right).

Lol at the guy who said make it it a true daily double when he had 400. Alex even got a kick out of it I think

WORDPLAY: Subtract a letter from the name of a keystroke found in computer commands & you get this violent reaction to social change.

The only keystroke I can think of that's common to virtually all commands is enter or return, and nothing makes sense as far as subtracting a letter.

Trying to find the latter word and work backwards as well, but not working. Riot? I dunno.

Omg don't even tell me it's backslash (backlash). That's really lame if so.

Try jboard.tv Usually pretty current (but spoilerish if you watch the show late/west coast).

That was a ridonkulous\horrible FJ tonight.

Ah cool thanks. Ugh to that answer. Glad I was able to come up with it but no way in 30 seconds.

I got it almost instantly. Lucky I guess? I just focused on the second part of the question as it makes no sense to go through all the keystrokes you can think of first.

Another awful FJ question, backslash never came to mind. Most command line interfaces use a front slash anyways, gg all five people who use the windows command line I guess

Also, back to Tuesday's show, the final daily double wager when the scores were 15k to 5.8k with 400 bucks left on the board was horrendous, way not to get yourself to above the 2/3rds mark when you're currently locked out anyways.

Not liking all the deliberate stalling from the current champ. I get that you're trying to preserve a runaway, but I'm not here to watch you spend a minute and a half on each clue selection.

Yeah, that was pretty douchey, but I can't complain too much when his idiotic opponent kept going for the small clues and left the final 1600 and 2000 dollar clues untouched. You aren't going to win by going for the 800 dollar clues buddy.

the champ is very smart but I can't stand him.
he's a giant pussy when it comes to wagering (and anyone who says "make it a true daily double" when they have less than 1K should be immediately disqualified) but he also stalls like a bitch.
hope he loses ASAP.

Did anyone get that final tonight? That was pretty brutal.

Glad the romance novelist lost, although I wish the girl would have won.

I feel like the champ probably wagered poorly on FJ but I'm not gonna put in the effort to analyze it right now.

Did everyone wager correctly today? Third place maybe could have bet 0 but a small wager from first or second is always possible.

$14,400-$13,000=$1,400
$13,000-$7,000=$6,000
$10,000-$4,400=$5,600

1st (over) bet to cover 2nd
2nd bet to cover tie 3rd
3rd bet to tie 1st

1st and 2nd ok (maybe not ideal?)

3rd should have bet smaller. 1st is never wagering 0. 3,000 would tie 2nds current score and also beat/tie 2nd if they both miss and 2nd bets to cover 3rd

3rd is never winning if 1st gets it right so really should try to win a triple stumper. Worrying about tying 1st is pointless.

I was wrong w Philippines. No idea how to figure that one out.
