I’m sorry that you didn’t recognize my sarcasm. I was responding to that individual who posited that Mr Holzhauer threw the match. The secrets to his success was his ability to control the board and hit the Daily Double, at which time he would wager big.

The only Daily Double he got was the first clue, when he didn’t have a grubstack to wager.

Sorry, but I am not buying your argument that the Jeopardy! folks were trying to protect Ken Jenning’s record. Cui bono?

BTW, congratulations on getting the last clue. I narrowed it down to Marlowe and Ben Jonson but picked the wrong one.

LOL Ok.. it makes more sense that way. Sometimes, a "/sarc" helps to avoid collusion. :-)

I was guessing at Marlowe. Just something I thought I remembered from a book I read last year. Although I despise English Lit, in general, my sister learned through family research that we are descended from Sir Thomas Wyatt (who, was a rather miserable poet). The book she sent me also had a chapter about Marlowe.
