04:41Let's see what happens when we come back.
04:42Much more Jeopardy to come.
04:51Aaron Adams here of Orlando is a community college professor and something of a seamstress, I'm told.
04:56Yeah, so I've been, I've taught myself to sew about five years ago, and recently I made my guest dress
05:04for my best friend's wedding in Scotland.
05:06Oh, wow.
05:07But I'm also a huge procrastinator, so I had the materials for this dress eight months in advance.
05:13I did it in the final two weeks while I was dog sitting at a stranger's house.
05:17I had to lug all of my materials, and I was hemming it on the train from Heathrow Airport up
05:23to Scotland the day before.
05:25But it sounds like the dress turned out well, and maybe you learned the wrong lesson.
05:29Like, procrastinating is fine.
05:30Honestly.
05:31It went great for you, Aaron.
05:32Also with us is Andrew Younger, a non-profit director from San Diego.
05:36Andrew, you and your wife have a very special nightly Jeopardy! ritual.
05:40Tell us about it.
05:40So my wife Amy and I watch Jeopardy! every night, and there's a certain ritual where if I manage to
05:49get 50 rites and all daily doubles and final,
05:53we stand up, hold hands, and jump around in a circle, and I encourage everyone at home to do this
06:02if you feel like you've had a great game.
06:05Now, we're going to look at your stats later, Andrew.
06:07If we see that you have 50 attempts on the buzzer in this game, will you do the dance of
06:10joy for us?

06:24Can you hike the Great Wall of China?
06:26You can crawl on your hands and knees at some parts.
06:29This was Jin Shan Lian to Sima Tai.
06:33It's several kilometers, more than five.
06:35And some of it's steep, is that why you're on your hands and knees?
06:38Yeah, and some of it's not as repaired as other parts.
06:42But it was a really, really amazing hike.
06:44There was this one woman, she was selling refreshments, or water and Coca-Cola, to tourists,
06:51and she got really curious about me and my sister, because her English was so good.
06:54So she followed us for a very long portion of it.
06:58So you had to chat and hike.
06:59That makes it even harder.
