05:12300 people a day.
05:13Wow.
05:13Yeah, yeah.
05:14Breakfast and lunch.
05:14That's a lot of meals.
05:15It's a lot, yeah.
05:16How is the food at Duolingo?
05:17It's excellent.
05:18Should I try to get a tour just so I can try your food?
05:20Absolutely.
05:20Yeah.

05:38What was that like?
05:39It was amazing.
05:39I lived in a small town called Bercoli.
05:41It was about three and a half hours outside the capital by bus, and I lived with tomato farmers and
05:45taught English to the children there.
05:47Oh, I love that.
05:47Yeah, so if I can, just a quick sentence to all my friends in Timor.
05:50Do you think we have a lot of viewers in Timor?

06:19that is coincidentally the day I learned what an outlier is.
06:24It is very hard to find a hat that fits.
06:27Interesting.
06:27I wonder if there's a correlation.
06:28We are not phrenologists here at Jeopardy, unlike your fourth grade class, but I wonder if there's a correlation between
06:34Jeopardy skill and just big ol' noggins.
06:36We'll find out.

17:11Here's the category that will decide things.
17:1420th century movie memorabilia.
17:16Think about that and work on your wagers while we pause for this quick break.
17:21In a very tight game, the topic for Final Jeopardy is 20th century movie memorabilia.
17:26Here's the clue.

17:3730 seconds.
17:38Good luck.
18:10All right, Monterey Salka had $5,000 coming into Final Jeopardy.
18:14Her response was the spruce goose.
18:18No, not the spruce goose, I'm afraid.
18:20That will drop your score, $4,997, leaving you with $3.
18:25Quentin Powers just off the lead with $12,291.
18:29What movie prop did you think of, Quentin?
18:32What is Rosebud?
18:34That's correct.

18:38Hope you've seen it.
18:38It was like 90 years ago.
18:40What was your wager?
18:43$1,909.
18:44This is good.
18:45It gets you back to a more even number.
18:46$14,200.
18:48And for the moment, you're in the lead.
18:50Noah Hamilton needs to be correct.
18:52Does he have Rosebud?
18:54The Maltese Falcon?
18:55No.
18:56Good guess, but no.
18:57He wagered big.
18:59He will finish in second place with $1,017.
19:02Quentin Powers comes from behind to become today's Jeopardy! champion.
