The *Jeopardy!* prodigy Arthur Chu, who bent the rules but did not break them, has had his win streak snapped at 11 games. A particularly lousy night answering trivia landed him in 3rd place in the final round, with little to no chance for shenanigans. Judging from [the list of questions](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/03/12/every-single-question-arthur-chu-got-wrong-on-tonights-jeopardy/?ref=killscreen.com) Chu got wrong, apparently pop music, the Spanish Inquisition, and contagious diseases aren’t his forte. “In this 1988 hit, Poison lamented that every rose has one of these.” Even I know that one.

[When I wrote about Chu a month ago](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/news/jeopardy-whiz-who-breaking-game-daily-doubles/?ref=killscreen.com), he was riding high, employing a devious strategy that struck a raw nerve with the ethos of the *Jeopardy!* illuminati. He circumvented the tradition of warming up the brain with easy questions before moving on to tougher ones, jumping around in a haphazard manner to score big. Purists claimed he was manipulating the system, but the rest of us loved it (at least until the Internet got bloated with[ Arthur Chu think-pieces](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/03/12/every-single-question-arthur-chu-got-wrong-on-tonights-jeopardy/?ref=killscreen.com), as it tends to). But the trivia will always come back to bite you: thus is the cruel fate of the blue board.
