Jeopardy First Edition -- Game #6

Hi friends!

Let's take a look at Jeopardy! First Edition Game #6. As before, my goal is to share what I've learned about the clues in this game.

Notes are in the order they appear in the original video, which you can find here.

Wikipedia is my primary source for much of this material (so take that with a grain of salt).

Jeopardy! Round

Categories: French Art, Starts with "S", '70's Rock, Mars, Where's The Beef?, Horsin' Around

• Starts with "S" ($400): Per Wikipedia, "an organ is a collection of tissues joined in a structural unit to serve a common function". I suppose that's why skin qualifies.
• Mars ($200): The names of Mars's moons are Phobos and Deimos.
• Mars ($300): "Holst" refers to Gustav Holst, an English composer from the early 20th century. The Mars movement is the first of seven in his The Planets. You can here the full eight-plus minute Mars movement on Wikipedia.
• Where's the Beef ($300): Stroganoff refers to a wealthy Russian family from the times of Ivan the Terrible (roughly the 1500s) through the early 1900s.
• '70's Rock ($200): That California governor mentioned in the clue was Jerry Brown. He was governor from 1975 to 1983, then again from 2011 to 2019. Ronstadt also dated Jim Carrey and George Lucas.
• Horsin' Around ($100): I'll post the link to the Wikipedia page for the full explanation, but why 550 pounds? James Watt, the guy who created the horsepower unit of measurement determined that a horse could turn a mill wheel a certain distance per hour. Assume a certain for the horse could pull, the numbers come out to 32,572 foot-pounds of force per minute. Round that to 33,000 (why not?) and divide by 60 seconds in a minute and you get 550 foot-pounds of force per second.
• Horsin' Around ($200): Trigger was Roy Rogers's horse; Buttermilk was his wife's, Dale Evans's, horse.
• French Art ($300): There have been four movies titled Moulin Rouge--released in 1928, 1934, 1952, and 2001. I was only familiar with the 2001 version, which came out well after this game was published--hence my confusion.

Double Jeopardy! Round

Categories: Notorious Leaders, Clothing, Rivers, Computer Talk, Misunderstood Monsters, "Cus" Words

• Rivers ($200): I didn't know that Truman Capote wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's. "Moon River", created for this film, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
• Clothing ($800): For you British viewers, the answer should be What are trousers? (In Britian, pants are the same as underpants, which gives this clue an extra bit of humor (humour?) over there.) Obscure fact: Pat Nixon was the first American First Lady to wear pants in public as a First Lady. Or, er, trousers.
• Misunderstood Monsters ($1000): Lycanthrope is another name for a werewolf. According to legend, werewolves are harmed by silver.
• Notorious Leaders ($1000): My guess of Hirohito was a reasonable guess, but not correct. Hirohito was the emperor of Japan before, during, and after World War II. He was not tried for war crimes, as the U.S. believed his cooperation would help in the post-War era. In 1946, he had to "renounce his divinity", and citizens could no longer revere him as a god. Punishment fits the crime, I guess. Hirohito certainly could be blamed for many aspects of World War II. Tojo's Wikipedia entry, like those whose answers appear in this category, are tough to read--lots of very bad actions. Let's move on.
• Misunderstood Monsters ($600): Deneuve is Catherine Deneuve, a French actress. Bowie is Ziggy Stardust, er, David Bowie. Also starring Susan Sarandon, The Hunger is an erotic thriller from 1983.
• Clothing ($200): Larry Holmes was a boxer and heavyweight champion from 1978 to 1985. Who was the only person to knock out Larry Holmes in his career? That would be Mike Tyson.

Final Jeopardy! Round

Category: The Bible

• I had the logic right. "Let there be light" was day 1, then this was the second day. From Genesis 1:6-8: "And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.' And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day."
