Jeopardy!: Wagering was important going into Final Jeopardy! as champion Lili
Williams and Rob Poodiack each had $12,000 at that point. For the third
straight day, no one came up with the correct final response.
   Category: Latin Lingo. Answer: this three-word phrase, familiar in the
U.S., originated in an ancient poem and described assembling foods to make salad.
Correct response: what is E Pluribus Unum?
   Williams made the more conservative wager and ended with $6,800 to retain
the title and a two-day total of $15,400.

   JEOPARDY! watcher and ADS member David Shulman spotted this...After this
question, JEOPARDY! host Alex Trebek had one-too-many salads and drove his car
into a ditch.
   "E PLURIBUS UNUM," one out of many, is how Virgil described making a
salad.  There are many Google hits.
   Shulman told me that some restaurants called their salads "E Pluribus
Unum."  I checked Newspaperarchive.com.  There are 29 hits, but nothing to
indicate a threat to "Caesar."
