For a brief moment I thought I was smarter than these three smart people. Because my answer was Delaware. I completely forgot about Connecticut. Duh.

I got the right answer by going through the eastern seaboard and looking for something starting with "C" or "D" (seeing as there's none that start with "B"), which was the right approach. That's what you did, right? These three just named another state starting with "A" and that was not the correct approach. So at least you had better methodology than they did.

Same here! Fifty Nifty, when you can do it fast, can be really helpful here. Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Colorado could not have been candidates. Unfortunately, I don’t know my states’ history well enough to know for sure whether Connecticut was one of the original 13, but I knew if it wasn’t, it would have easily been within the first 16 or so.

@louisnorred8530 12 күн бұрын

I bet at least 2/3 candidates knew that song, confidently sang it in their head, and got Arkansas. It's almost misleading, because it leads you to believe it's one of the ones that comes soon after Alabama, but it's not really.

@hsupower 12 күн бұрын

I got lucky on that one. I looked at the clue and my first thought was thinking about the time period that Alabama became a state. I was thinking about the mid to late 1820s. I didn't think it was Arkansas. I thought it became a state after Alabama. With about eight to ten seconds left, I threw out a guess of "What is Connecticut?" I couldn't think of another state that started with "A". I knew there was no state that started with "B". That is how I got the correct response tonight. Rare occasion where all three contestants were wrong and I got it right. I think I can count those occasions on no more than one hand.

@SpiderLizz 12 күн бұрын

@patrickemperado985 12 күн бұрын

Would Jeopardy have accepted "CT" to cut the writing time?

@theemmjay5130 12 күн бұрын

My guess would be yes, considering that if they're looking for a person's name, they'll accept only the last name if it's uncommon enough. For instance, they'd accept "Who is Twain" (or "Who is Clemens,") if they were looking for Mark Twain, but they might not accept "Who is Jones?" if they were looking for John Paul Jones, as there have been a lot of famous people with the last name Jones.

I got this one today! Woohoo! The way our states were essentially created coincides with two travesties in our country's history: The displacement of Native Americans and slavery. We moved Native Americans to territories created from the Louisiana Purchase while we settled their previous lands and then would break our treaties and keep forcing them to move as settlers kept moving into new territories the US would designate as such. Then the Missouri compromise of 1820 basically said for every free state that would get admitted there would be a slave state admitted so as not to disrupt the balance of free vs slave states. Since I knew Arkansas was not added until after the Missouri compromise, Connecticut was the only right answer.
