Are you an undergraduate in college or university? Make sure you sign up for the College Online Test on October 6! We’ll be talking a bit about it on our next #JeopardyLivePanel as well, October 4 at 8 PM Eastern!
Also, if you’re reading this post, you should definitely comment on it – if only to wish our Dear Founder, Jeanie, a happy birthday! 🙂
Today’s contestants:
Alan Sherman, a freelance political consultant from Mountain View, CA |
Cam Hoang, an attorney from Minneapolis, MN |
Matt Jackson, a paralegal from Washington, DC(2-day champ, $51,200) |
After being very dominant in his first two games, will he win his third? Anything can happen in a game of Jeopardy!…
The opening category — FRUITS AND VEGETABLES — looked like it gave our contestants today ptomaine poisoning (see what I did there? eh?)
We had another Daily Double in an “X in Spanish” category – I still feel bad for Kaya and her Daily Double last April! Matt got this one, though – COUNTRIES IN SPANISH (Reino Unido)
Scores going into Final Jeopardy!:
Matt $26,600
Alan $10,200
Cam $3,200
Final Jeopardy! category: EUROPEAN MUSEUMS
Final Jeopardy! clue: In one of her last official acts before abdicating, Queen Beatrix reopened this museum after a 10-year renovation
Cam 3200 + 3100 = 6300
Alan 10200 + 3773 = 13973
Matt 26600 + 3400 = 30000 (3-day champion, $81,200)
Now that he’s in the field, do we think that he’s a favorite in the Tournament of Champions?
