  • It always makes me feel better about having no idea when none of the contestants do either.

    • Same here. I hate it when I can’t even give an educated guess. I bet my Daddy got this one.

    • I looked up short in German and found kurz, thought it might be Kurtz from HoD but I'm curious are the question writers getting smarter or are the standards for contestants getting slacker, of the Finals I've seen of late not many people are even trying to guess.

    • Totally, how smart does one have to be to KNOW they won't know the answer to the next question? It's one of the most intellectually impressive moves I see on Jeopardy, imo.

  • This was a brutal clue. I also notice the usual troll isn't commenting about how he read the book in question recently and thus knew it right away... because I think less than 1% of the home viewers actually got this one. It requires having read that book and having recalled its characters. If you read it in high school, that becomes difficult...

    • Given my German knowledge, my first thought was Kurz, but then I thought, Klein sounds more like a name. Either way, it didn't help as I did not know the work.

  • I suddenly feel smart. I don't know anything about the literary character in question, but I've taken German. The German word for short is kürz.

  • I got it because I speak German. I had no idea who the character was, even though I read and liked the story...

  • I read Conrad's Heart of Darkness and although I took one semester of German I could only get 'kleine' or little. Oh well. Ich war etwas klein oder kurtz... I guess.

  • Glad German has SOME romantic language roots. Didn't know German for short, but knew French was court. Initially went to Kurt Vonnegut, except that is the author and much younger. Took a bit to get there, but I got there.
