I would love if anybody else remembers this, but one of the last arcs in Yu Yu Hakusho had a villain that was a little brainy kid. And he was challenging the heroes to various video game related tasks in order to beat them. The smartest member of the team at the time challenged him to a quiz game, and he had also memorized all of the questions and answers so he was able to buzz in and answer them as soon as the first few letters appeared. It seems like it was going to be an easy victory for the heroes, but then the villain starts buzzing in before any letters appear whatsoever. And he reveals that he has not only memorized all of the questions and answers, but he has solved the algorithm that the game uses, so he now knew immediately what the next questions were going to be, and he was able to buzz in before the hero character could even get a chance to answer

re: Sleeping Beauty She pricked her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel to die, with the fairies changing the curse so she only falls asleep instead. In the original story she pricks her finger on thorns, but a later retelling from the 1600s changes this to a spinning wheel.

America also colonized The Philippines until 1946 in the 1890s so there's that

[@chriswest6988]

​@@benderbendingrodriguez420it's more complicated than that makes it sound while still being bad. They were colonized by Spain, were already fighting for their independence from Spain during the Spanish American war, and then were "given" to the US as part of the negotiations to end that war. As you might imagine, the Filipinos didn't exactly respect this supposed transfer and continued fighting for independence but from the US this time. Then there's a few decades where the locals were ceded a limited amount of political power and stopped fighting and instead successfully used that political lever to advocate for increasingly greater independence. I'd argue they de facto achieved that in '35 whether we officially recognized it yet or not, losing it temporarily (to Japan this time) in '41. He was a bastard, but I have to respect the audacity of whatever Spanish negotiator said "and we'll throw in the Philippines!" at a point when they were already functionally losing control of the Philippines.

This might be silly but this episode got me surprisingly emotional. Placido Domingo was my grandmother's favorite opera singer and after becoming a fan she met and became close friends with the man and the two shared a strong platonic love for one another. My grandmother was my favorite person and died 13 years ago. Just hearing the name of one of her favorite people pop up as a jeopardy question on this show was enough to get me really weepy. She loved the holidays and they always represented a time of the year that was hers for me and so this couldn't have come out at a more perfect time to get me feeling very happily nostalgic for lost and beloved family. Definitely gonna listen to some Placido today and idk if it's weird to say it not but I'd love if others did too ❤

A game from 35 years ago with questions from 25 years before that. Good luck to the boys.

[@PeacefulAutistic]

In case you all don’t know, when the AI gives you what looks like gobbledygook, it’s actually a hint. The length is laid out and a few letters revealed. I own the original gametek 1987 jeopardy and figured that out when I couldn’t remember an answer and the AI gave me that hint that made me remember. It only happens after someone has already guessed. The AI doesn’t know the difference between AI and human so on a solo game an AI can give a hint after the other AI guessed wrong. Otherwise it’s just symbols that do nothing for you. On an AI double jeopardy they give the hint if they “don’t know it”.

[@duketogo25]

I played an easier version of this game. Don't remember the whole Jeopardy name, but everything was orange instead of blue like this one. The computer "getting it wrong" was a big help with answers I wanted to guess, or forgot the answers to.
