I remember when the Music Legends question originally aired and was proud of myself for getting it right...about 2 minutes too late (thanks 'pause')

[danpage]

I can't believe I drew a blank on #1! I did get numbers 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, & 10 correct. I went with the wrong musicians, the wrong German, and the wrong city on 3, 6, & 9, respectively.

[ColdSnapVA]

Wow, I got the Dymaxion one right. Thanks, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader (really!), for that article on Buckminster Fuller.

[playfulyogi]

wow these were Hard!! i didn't get any

[jimlawton]

I forgot, was Sixtus The Fifth before or after Fifteth the Sixth?

[theweysermanisback]

1 of these was Matt Amodio’s 38th game, his last winning game, before Jonathan Fisher beat him.

[Ron-ds]

Who's on First base?

I Don't Know.

*THIRD BASE*

[gudea]

None of these are exceptionally difficult. It’s more a matter of contestants not considering all information given in a final jeopardy to be relevant in some way when they are tailored to “gettable” for people who do not have specific expert knowledge in that subject.

[chrish]

Those questions were so easy.. did I suddenly get smart or was I just intimidated by this programme..

[mikebrazao]

What was the 1957 event in Little Rock? Poor hosting by Trebek there.

[jlchips]

Chuck from State Birds should've bet $0-$399! He had the win in the bag but he lost it!

[tsurdyk]

How is a question everyone answered correctly one of the hardest?

[brookcrowley]

The State Capitals category is the most famous hard category, mainly as the only episode to start with returning co-champions and finish with three losers! It's the only episode I really wanna see!!!

[dantheminigolfwizard]

God I forget how long Matt Ammodio was around

[komitkazi]

Michael Jackson was long buried by 2018. The trick was to realize that Monarch isnt strictly a paternal title. Only when i considered this did Aretha come to mind=Queen of Soul=BOOM . shaka laka

[michaelpalmieri]

On that "musical monarchs" clue, I thought the correct question/answer was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, because the former was the "King of Rock and Roll, " and the latter was the "King of Pop." Well, I was right about Presley, but I was wrong about Jackson, because the right question/answer was "Who were Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin, " the latter being the "Queen of Soul." I didn't even THINK about her, and apparently, neither did any of those three contestants.

On that "Sports And Comedy" clue about the two of the "five w"s of journalism that were NOT part of Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" skit, I can't believe one of those three contestants thought one of the "w"s was "WHO"!

WAS HE OUT OF HIS MIND?

"Who" was not only a part of the routine, IT WAS PART OF THE TITLE! The sketch was called "WHO'S On First"! If it wasn't part of the title, there would have been no point of including it in the routine, and if it wasn't in the routine, there would have been no point of putting it in the title.

DIDN'T THAT IDIOT LISTEN TO THE CLUE, OR WASN'T HE TAUGHT HOW TO LISTEN, OR HOW TO THINK?

[a.grimes]

I’m tempted to say the first one, “What is [a] Quantum Leap?” is too easy for this list, but considering this likely is a standard “countdown” style video, it most likely eked in at #10. There was just enough info supplied by the answer to get me to think of the proper question on that one.

I’d give myself ½ credit if half-right answers counted as correct on the show, so I missed the music category. I only mention it because everybody can guess Elvis Presley, but I l’m born and raised in Michigan and I was immediately distrautht and embarrassed when they said Aretha Franklin. I live literally maybe 75-90 minutes tops from Detroit, heard about her death in the news 6 years ago and still couldn’t get it...D’OH! *🤦*

I was able to use the hometown of Waldorf to think of the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, and am enough of a history buff to recall the name John Jacob Astor.

For the duck-bill platypus one, I thought of the Southern Hemisphere category, picked something and threw a dart at the board. Dumb luck saved me on that one. *😅*

Finally, as a long-time enjoyer of baseball, again a history buff, and having been to Cooperstown, NY and the MLB Hall of Fame museuk where Abbott and Costello’s brilliant “Who’s on First?” sketch plays non-stop and having seen MANY reactions to it in the past few years, I instantly went through all the positions and their names, as one of the contestants also seemed to try to do. Eliminating Who (1st), What (2nd) and Why (LF) left where and when.

So, yeah, I somehow amazed myself and got 4/10 here. With a little more thought I might’ve gotten Utah and Little Rock, but I didn’t want a video on *⏸️* all day LOL.

[dantheminigolfwizard]

These just simply aren’t the hardest of all time. Extremely annoying, clickbait title

[TheSaltydog]

NEE-chuh
Second syllable is a schwa.
😑

[mikebrazao]

Quantum Leap was incredibly easy. These are supposed to be the HARDEST Final Jeopardy questions?
