00:14Introducing today's contestants, an artistic director and director of education from Lowell, Massachusetts, Deidre Purcell.
00:23A high school teacher from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Jacob Ross Ewart.
00:30And our returning champion, an attorney and theater producer from Memphis, Tennessee, Adam Remsen, whose five-day cash winnings totaled
00:40$99,601.
00:44And now, here is the host of Jeopardy! Ken Jennings.
00:51Thank you, Johnny Gilmer. Welcome to Jeopardy!
00:54Our champion, Adam Remsen, hit win number five yesterday and officially qualified for the Tournament of Champions.
01:00But unlike the five-game winner on this date exactly 23 years ago, Adam doesn't have to retire undefeated.
01:06He can keep playing. That rule change is 23 years old. Very important in my Jeopardy! story.
01:11And now for Adam, it means he's coming back for win number six against the newcomers Jacob and Deidre.
01:15Good luck to all three of you. Let's get into the Jeopardy! game, shall we?

01:26I played a real person. Followed by great legs.
01:31Let me help you with this one. Vowelless Hawaiian words.
01:35And finally, we'll learn about Charles Curtis, the man, the legend. Adam?

05:59Often on a Friday, I'll give them one of the New York Times crossword puzzles to work on.
06:03I find that's a really good way to build vocab and general knowledge, which are both really
06:07useful things in an English class.
06:09Now, you say you do it on Friday.
06:10Do you give them a Friday puzzle?
06:11Because those are hard.
06:12I'll usually give them a Monday puzzle, because those are the easier ones.
06:14And then I'll put a Sunday puzzle up on the projector and try to live-solve race them
06:18to do the Mondays.
06:19Oh, wow.
06:19See if anybody can beat me.
06:21So far, I'm undefeated, but it's one of these days.

06:42get interested in music, and so we said we were going to get him piano lessons.
06:46And I thought, why not?
06:47And so at the same time, I started taking lessons from the same person that he was.
06:51So for about four months, we were taking lessons from the same teacher.
06:55And I gave up after that.
06:57I still play every day, but I'm kind of, I just want to bang through, hey, Jude.
07:00You know, I'm good.
07:01But my son, of course, is light years ahead of me.
07:04I see.
07:04So if you guys were competitive, he would be kicking butt right now.
07:07Oh, yeah.
