JAQR - December 3, 2023
Supreme Court justices, children's author Scott O'Dell, artist Marc Chagall, authors Jane Smiley & W.P. Kinsella, the Gulf War, and more...
Thank you for reading the 65th weekly issue of the Jeopardy Answer & Question Recap, or JAQR [“jacker”] for short. For the past year+, it’s been wonderful sharing these recaps with you. Starting with this issue, JAQR will be switching over to a paid subscription model. I have set the JAQR subscription rate at $5 per month (the minimum that Substack allows). There is also a yearly subscription plan, which averages out to about $4 per month, along with a "founding member plan" if you're feeling extra generous. I realize some people have only recently subscribed to the recap, so I’m giving everyone the option to redeem a 30 day free trial here: https://jaqr.substack.com/ae43d083
This recap includes two clues from each episode of Jeopardy! between Monday 11/27 and Friday 12/1. The recap will include Daily Doubles, Final Jeopardy clues, and Triple Stumpers. The first half of the recap will include just the clues so you can quiz yourself if you want. The second half will give you some (hopefully) interesting information about the clues and/or some related info.
P.S. Next week’s issue is a special recap quiz that will include ~125 questions based on previous regular editions of JAQR from 6/4, 6/11, 6/18, 6/25, 7/2, 7/16, 7/23, 7/30, 8/6, 8/13, 8/20, 8/27, 9/3, 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, and 10/8.
