Admittedly I had trouble with Friday night’s Final Jeopardy, mostly because I didn’t pay attention to the key word in the clue. To be fair, I wasn’t the only one. All three contestants missed it as well.
“When translated the full name of this Major League Baseball team gets you a double redundancy.”
At first glance I thought it was the Minnesota Twins, I was stuck on the redundancy part and assumed Minnesota-Twin Cities-Twins. It seemed obvious to me but nope, I’m just an idiot. Here is Alex Trebek explaining the question in vintage Alex Trebek fashion:
“When you think about, translate Spanish los, the, Angeles, Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Angels, thee thee Los Angeles, the Angels Angels.
That’s a mouthful huh?
And it was so simple and straightforward and stumped everyone.
Let’s all take a lap and celebrate our stupidity together.
