Some of my friends on Facebook and Twitter have been abuzz in the last 24 hours – a number of friends of The Tribe have announced airdates for mid-to-late December (Unfortunately, not me.)
Here’s what I’d like to say about that:
On with the show, though! Today’s contestants:
Today’s contestants:
Brad Rudy, a retired railroad analyst from Marietta, GA |
Nicole Stanley, a medical student from Portland, OR |
Joyce Hshieh, an actress and writer from Chicago, IL (2-day champion, $26,602) |
Scores going into Final Jeopardy!:
Joyce $12,000
Brad $11,400
Nicole $5,600
Final Jeopardy! category: NEWLY INDEPENDENT NATIONS
Final Jeopardy! clue: Prior to South Sudan, this Eur. country was the most recent one to gain independence and be recognized by the United States
Nicole 5600 + 5600 = 11200
Brad 11400 – 5000 = 6400 (Serbia)
Joyce 12000 + 801 = 12801 (3-day champion, $39,403)
Did Joyce make a math error here? This Twitterview has the answer:
@_thejeopardyfan You know, you’re probably right. I actually thought about that later. I think I might’ve meant to do 799?

@_thejeopardyfan That REALLY did nag at me for a long time later. Uh oh, am I gonna get a chastising from Keith Williams? @TheFinalWager
