Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! tonight? Today’s Jeopardy! results will go up on this page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

The replacement of the periscope with a photonics mast, on the Navy’s Virgnia-class subs, allows for the control room to be placed in a more convenient area of the submarine (as, unlike a periscope, it need not be located directly above the user.)

In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

    7: 6.81%
    Avg. streak: 3.405 games.
    Avg. Total Winnings (including ToC possibility): $66,434.

    ToC projection update:
    With a projected 83 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
    An average of 3.1521 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3736).
    An average of 4.8788 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6807).

    An early cutoff took place 15.936% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).

    Jamie Newland qualified 21.327% of the time.
    Tim Kutz qualified 58.857% of the time.
    Todd Giese qualified 19.070% of the time.
    Rob Liguori qualified 3.958% of the time.
    Fred Vaughn qualified 0.776% of the time.

    (Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I feel that it is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)
