† Eric failed to phrase his Jeopardy! round Daily Double response in the form of a question. He was originally credited with a correct response and his 1,500 point wager. When the ruling was changed at the end of the Jeopardy! round, Eric only lost his 1,500 point wager, not 3,000 points (which is what would normally happen to turn a correct response into an incorrect one). For the sake of statistics, Eric’s wager is recorded as -0.
