Please welcome today's contestants:
- Logan, a law student, wore Chicago-themed Halloween costumes;
- Nina, a marketing manager, has only Antarctica as a continent she has yet to visit; and
- Mike, an actor, was treated to some Backstreet Boys at Oktoberfest. Mike is a one-day champ with winnings of $26,600.
Logan started slowly, dominated the first part of DJ, then held off the late move of Mike to lead into FJ at $15,300 vs. $14,000 for Mike and $8,600 for Nina.
DD1 - $600 - INTERNATIONAL ORGS. - Bulgaria & Moldova belong to the BSEC, the economic cooperation zone named for this body of water (Logan won the window maximum of $1,000.)
DD2 (video) - $1,200 - HISTORY - "Marching to Pretoria" was a folk song of this war, and here are British troops doing so in 1900 (Logan took first place by winning $2,500 from his score of $6,400 vs. $8,000 for Mike.)
DD3 - $1,600 - 17-LETTER WORDS - Critic Roger Fry coined this term for the late 19th century art style of Seurat & Gauguin (Nina lost $2,000 from her third-place total of $5,800 vs. $13,700 for Logan.)
FJ - EUROPEAN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS - Opened in 1843, it was frequented by Hans Christian Andersen & Walt Disney, who both found inspiration there
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Mike wagered the least and came out on top, dropping $3,200 to win with $10,800 for a two-day total of $37,400.
Wagering strategy: Mike bet an amount that, if correct, would have given him exactly double of Nina's score entering FJ. Since Nina wagered everything, if she and Mike had been right on FJ, the game would have been decided by a tiebreaker clue.
Triple Stumpers of the day: In the oddball category PLANET SHAMING, no one guessed the planet that "tried to kill Matt Damon in a 2015 movie" is Mars, or that "showed no remorse after the Messenger probe crashed into it" is Mercury.
Cluereader corner: Anderson was clearly very amused by Mike's "head exploding" gesture as he was being introduced as the champion.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is the Black Sea? DD2 - What is the Boer War? DD3 - What is postimpressionism? FJ - What is Tivoli (Gardens)?

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer
..... Will get a reward.
Me: Hi pregnant, I'm Dad!
Wife: No you're not.

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.
The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!
Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
