She wagered $3,500 in “What’s Your Angle?” The clue was “The first word in the name of this simple machine implies an angle; the steeper the slope, the more force required.”

“What is an inclined plane?” Sloan answered correctly, giving her the lead with $8,300.

She remained in the lead at the end of the round with $9,900. Williams had $6,400. Hebbar, a physician, was in third place with -$1,000.

In Double Jeopardy, Habeer found the first DD on clue nine. He wagered the allotted $2,000 in “Country Facts.”

The clue read, “The Mau Escarpment is a rampart along the western rim of The Great Rift Valley in this country.” He correctly answered, “What is Kenya?” giving him $1,800.

Habeer found the last DD on clue 15. He had $2,600 and wagered all of his money. In “On Your Merry Way,” the clue was “There’s lively debate over whether the title of this 18th-century Christmas carol takes a comma & where.”

“I don’t have it,” he said. The correct response was God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” which dropped him down to $0.

Although Sloan was in the lead through most of the round, Williams moved into first place quickly after the Daily Doubles. He ended with $21,200.

Sloan had $16,700. Habeer ended with $800.

The category for Final Jeopardy was “20th Century Names.” The clue read, “Shunned by his religion when he went to study law in England, he met Christians who helped him awaken a ‘religious quest.’” Only one game show contestant got the answer right.

Habeer’s response was “Who is Lewis?” He wagered $799, leaving him with $1. Sloan answered, “Who is Hubbard?” which was also wrong. She wagered $4,501, making her final total $12,199.
