    I posted about Claudia on a previous Jeopardy! thread. Yeah, the "no naming a names" line is odd.

    The final answer was something like "Sentenced to life in 1895, he was out of prison in 1899."

    I said "Napoleon is all I can think of and that's way too late for him." My wife came up with Papillion, also wrong.

    You were both on the right track, though. Has to be Dreyfus.

    Those Jeopardy! shows required multiple PhD's for some success ...

    I should've edited the post before posting. The ONLY reason I mentioned Claudia by name is because she is on the internet and has a site about it.
    Definitely one of the brightest people that I have ever encountered in this business. Her one flaw? She loves the Houston Astros. LOL

    I think this is more appropriate for the "Getting out of the business" thread.

    Why would there be any issue naming Claudia on this kind of thing?

    Because he said he wouldn't, then in the next sentence...it's more mocking his writing skills...ie, lack thereof.

    Well, you can never be sure. So just to cover his bases he named her name without naming names.

    It's a dead issue that lives on all over again.
