05:00We need to pause, but we will be right back with more Jeopardy.
05:04Molly Hackett, originally of Denver, is now in New York City where she's a typewriter poet.
05:08Molly, what is a typewriter poet?
05:10Well, we're a dime a dozen.
05:12No, so I have a typewriter, and I take it out with me just around to Central Park.
05:17I go and sit in front of the Met Museum, and I write poems on the spot for people.
05:21So they could tell me, for example, you know, I went on like a 70-something game winning streak
05:25on Jeopardy, and I would say, great, perfect.
05:27And I'd write a little poem on the spot for them about that.
05:29That must be a lot of pressure.
05:31You think so, but I think my brain just works very well under pressure.
05:36Knock on wood.
05:37So it's just fun.
05:38I don't know.
05:38It's fun.
05:39It's like doing a magic trick for people, and it's a really special little moment of connection
05:42to have with a perfect stranger in the middle of the city.
05:44And they get to keep the poem.
05:46Ideally, they pay me for the poem, and then they get to keep it.
05:48Well, you'd think we'd see more typewriter poets on Jeopardy.
05:50You'd think.
05:51We'll see.
05:52Maybe in the future.

06:08relay races.
06:09How long does a long-distance relay race go?
06:11You'd form teams of 12.
06:12Each person would run three legs.
06:14We'd cover a distance of about 200 miles in probably about 18 or 19 hours.
06:18Wait, so each person is running a near marathon on your team?
06:20Yes, yes.
06:21And you said in your 20s.
06:22You're not doing this so much today.
06:23I'm just a shadow of my former self.
06:25Aren't we all?

06:36experiences.
06:37Tell us about today's pin.
06:38Yeah, well, I have a pin collection.
06:40I like to wear them to work on my lapels and everything.
06:43And I probably have about 100 pins.
06:44But this one's a special one.
06:46Just came back from a trip to New Zealand with my dad.

06:52And hopefully that will come up in one of the next clues.
06:55Well, if so, you just mentioned it to Chris and Molly.

18:45Your score will drop 101 bucks, leaving you at $2,299.
18:49Chris Kearney, you were in second place with $8,600
18:51and a chance to catch the champ.
18:53You wrote down Jaeger, and I'm afraid Jaeger is incorrect.
18:58It'll cost you $3,799, leaving you with $4,801.
19:03James Dennison with $13,800.
19:05Will he be adding to it?

19:21$5,199 leaves you with $8,601,
19:23and that today is enough to make you a four-game Jeopardy! champion
19:27with $99,400.
19:31Five games would send James to the Tournament of Champions,
19:33and we'll find out tomorrow if that happens.
19:35Thank you very much.
19:45And today the Senate will be in seventh out.
