Friday's "Final Jeopardy!" category was "Classical Musicians."
"The cover of the May 19, 1958 Time magazine called him 'The Texan Who Conquered Russia.'"
Friday night’s edition of “Jeopardy!” featured the category “America’s Cup Racing.”
For $200: “In September 2013, Oracle Team USA takes up the defense of sailing's greatest prize, The America's Cup, when both teams of the competition will race these state-of-the-art multi-hulled vessels.”
For $400: “Standard training for the upcoming America's Cup includes flying a hull, a breathtaking maneuver that's used to increase speed and reduce this force that resists the motion of an object through a fluid.”
For $600: “One of the most physically demanding jobs aboard ship is the grinder, who performs the all-important task of trimming the sails using these top-handled devices.”
For $800: “Instead of a traditional fabric sail on a mast, vessels like the AC45 use a wing sail, a rigid structure predominantly made from this elemental fiber for its greater strength and lighter weight.”
For $1000: "To make headway on a fixed course like the America's Cup, even when traveling into the wind, this maneuver turns a vessel's bows through the wind so that it flows from one side to the other.”
