It always makes me feel better about having no idea when none of the contestants do either.

Same here. I hate it when I can’t even give an educated guess. I bet my Daddy got this one.

@user-wm3bf7pi3u 3 ай бұрын

I looked up short in German and found kurz, thought it might be Kurtz from HoD but I'm curious are the question writers getting smarter or are the standards for contestants getting slacker, of the Finals I've seen of late not many people are even trying to guess.

@theastewart6721 3 ай бұрын

Same here too. I had no idea. Oh well!😊

Just looking at the faces and body language of the contestants told me right of that none of them had the slightest clue

Totally, how smart does one have to be to KNOW they won't know the answer to the next question? It's one of the most intellectually impressive moves I see on Jeopardy, imo.

@BlueCrystalTear 3 ай бұрын

This was a brutal clue. I also notice the usual troll isn't commenting about how he read the book in question recently and thus knew it right away... because I think less than 1% of the home viewers actually got this one. It requires having read that book and having recalled its characters. If you read it in high school, that becomes difficult...

I'm usually good in this category and would have bet the farm. I would have gone home a loser, not even getting the crappy home game!

There were three separate clues in that answer and none of them helped me.

This was a trick question! I guessed Klein. 😤

@danielwardin3609 3 ай бұрын

I only thought of Curt/Kurt -- but couldn't get Kurtz out of that (despite the additional 1902 clue).

@NomadicBrian 3 ай бұрын

Eine Kleine Nachtmusic. Yes that would get you little. That was as far as I got with it too.

@griffitts7 3 ай бұрын

Given my German knowledge, my first thought was Kurz, but then I thought, Klein sounds more like a name. Either way, it didn't help as I did not know the work.

@mikemprov1303 3 ай бұрын

I thought “Klein” also and it’s a common name. Little did I know…

@Robertv1984 3 ай бұрын

Knowing a bit of German and knowing the novel and the 1970s movie based on it helped.

@jonathanarmstead60 3 ай бұрын

I just re-read this book late last year and I didn't even get this.

@NomadicBrian 3 ай бұрын

I read Conrad's Heart of Darkness and although I took one semester of German I could only get 'kleine' or little. Oh well. Ich war etwas klein oder kurtz... I guess.

@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz 3 ай бұрын

I suddenly feel smart. I don't know anything about the literary character in question, but I've taken German. The German word for short is kürz.

@gf4453 3 ай бұрын

I got it because I speak German. I had no idea who the character was, even though I read and liked the story...

It’s the same as Brando’s character from Apocalypse Now.

I can't believe I didn't get this one. I guessed "Klein." Mein Deutsch ist ein bissen rusty.

@JohnLee-ue6gy 3 ай бұрын

Glad German has SOME romantic language roots. Didn't know German for short, but knew French was court. Initially went to Kurt Vonnegut, except that is the author and much younger. Took a bit to get there, but I got there.

@user-kb5bc2ob3x 3 ай бұрын

Sure you did.

@kari4638 3 ай бұрын

I thought it was Klein because it can be used to describe someone who is short and Klein is a very common last name 😅

@Driven2Beers 3 ай бұрын

My guess was Klein, but that means little, not short. Ahh well.

@gupwalla961 3 ай бұрын

Correct author, wrong enigmatic character. It would help if I knew any German.

@gupwalla961 3 ай бұрын

For the nobody who is pondering… I went with the ostensible adult shop owner from my favorite of the author’s works.

So a $0 wager (which is NOT the same as not wagering by the way) pays off.

This was a terrible clue. Triple stumper and very vague

@hsupower 3 ай бұрын

I thought it was just a difficult clue to figure out. Especially if you know very little about the German language. I had no guess for it. Overall, I was in a group that struggled tonight. On to the next one tomorrow night.
