Last week, 15 of America's
best and brightest teachers came together to play on our
Teachers' Tournament. Of those, nine survive to play
this week - five game winners and four wild-cards. Now
it's a win-or-go-home affair, as only the winners of the
next three games will earn the right to play in the
finals for $100,000 and a shot at $250,000 in the next
Tournament of Champions. What challenges await these educators? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. The winner of this match gets Becky Giardina and John Pearson. The losers get $10,000.

"What is the Declaration of Rights of Man & Citizen?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $6000! Daily Double #2: $1600 Inspiration. Mary Beth has $6200, $600 less than Eli and $2000 less than Maryanne. She bets $2000 for the tie on this: looking like a giant lying down, Cave Hill near Belfast inspired this man in the 1720s. "Who is Swift?" Jonathan Swift puts her into a tie for the lead! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Now we break down the numbers courtesy of J-Archive.com... - Maryanne
wins if... she bets $7001 and Eli tries to two-thirds
Mary Beth & is wrong. Final Jeopardy! category: NOVEL TITLES
Correct response: what are "The
Satanic Verses"?
Maryanne had the momentum going into the half, but then Mary Beth took it from her after the second Daily Double. Plenty of room to make a move, and she made all the right moves, getting most of the big money clues and padding a lead. Now let's see how she does against....
