00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:13Let's meet today's contestants.
00:16A retired public interest attorney from Jackson, Mississippi, Beth Orlansky.
00:22A firefighter from Matthews, North Carolina, Ian Sampson.
00:26And our returning champion, a chess player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Greg Shahadi, whose two-day cash winnings total $54,601.
00:40And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:47Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. Welcome back to Jeopardy!
00:50Yesterday, our international chess master Greg Shahadi proved that his Monday victory over 31-game champ Jamie Ding was no
00:57fluke.
00:58Once again, he found all three daily doubles.
01:00He was correct on two of them, and he sealed the deal with a correct response in Final Jeopardy! for
01:04his second straight win.
01:06Today, he's back to face Ian and Beth.
01:08I wish all three of you the very best of luck, and I'm going to introduce you to your six
01:11categories now in the Jeopardy! round.
01:14We begin with History's Mysteries, or at least a few of them.
01:18Then I'm talking about Flight Club.
01:20We have the elements.
01:22Give yourselves a hand, in quotation marks.
01:25Then playing some recent hits.
01:27And finally, one piece of advice for you.

05:25At a Jewish camp in Mississippi.
05:27And this is the same camp where many of your family met their attendant?
05:30We are seven couples who can trace their meeting to Jacob's camp.
05:35Wow.
05:35Is this something the camp advertises?
05:37Well, it's very subtle, but it's definitely part of the plan to get people who come from towns where there
05:42are very few Jewish people to come together for the summer and meet each other.
05:46And some of these camp folks are with us today, right?
05:47They are.

06:09in the lab was they could come in, dip their hand in water, scoop up a handful of natural gas
06:13bubbles, and I would ignite them.
06:15Wow.
06:15It lasts for about three seconds, creates a nice little mushroom cloud of fire, and then it goes out right
06:19about the time that it starts to get hot.
06:21I am not interested in you trying that here, by the way, in case that was your next question.
06:24Our returning champion is chess master Greg Shahadi from Philadelphia.
06:28Your girlfriend has a bone to pick, Greg.
06:30She says if we were to meet you on the street, there's an even chance of what?
06:33That I would have my shirt inside out.
06:35Your shirt would be inside out?
06:36Or like combination, inside out, like backwards, like all different combinations of incorrect.
06:41Right now, you're looking good.
06:42Well, you have a really helpful staff. I keep trying and they keep fixing it, so.
