Who is Harry Truman?
Missourian Harry Truman, while he did attend Spalding’s Commercial College in Kansas City, studying bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing, he left after one year. An attempt to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point failed due to Truman’s notoriously poor eyesight. He also took night courses towards a law degree at the Kansas City Law School in the 1920s, but did not finish when he lost his county judgeship re-election bid. He is the most recent President not the graduate from college or university.

Avg. Total Winnings (including possible ToC): $88,750
ToC projection update:
With a projected 79 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.9836 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3506).
An average of 4.5509 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6653).
An early cutoff took place 12.738% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Alan Lin qualified 32.283% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 63.828% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 22.530% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 5.299% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 1.544% 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.)
1. Again a new champion.
2. Again a wrong answer won the game.
3. Again the leader got FJ wrong.
Is your computer still predicting 2 – 3 5 timers, Andy? :):):)
It is.
Wow Alan! We have another Matt Jackson or Arthur Chu here. Maybe Keith could come back around and update his streaks of futility it’s been 26 games since we had a 3 time champion
A very impressive win — broad range of knowledge, exceptionally quick on the buzzer (first to ring in almost half the time, forsooth). He could be in for a long run, though we’ve been fooled before by impressive first-game winners who hit a bad board and crash in their second game. Will be watching tonight with great interest!
I have enjoyed Jeopardy almost daily.
I want to enter the Galopigos challenge but do not see how to enter today’s clue, tortoise? Help!
You’ll have to contact the show. This is a fan site and I do not operate the contest (nor am I able to provide tech support for the contest.)
I want to enter today’s Galapagos clue – tortoise – but do not see where to enter it. Help please
How do I contact the show to enter the Galopogus contest. I do not see it on the Jeopardy.com site.
It was on the website last I looked.
I just looked again. It is the top graphic on their home page, above the fold. Click “Learn More” to enter.
Nine games in a row where the leader got the wrong answer in FJ!
love Jeopardy, have learned a lot watching over the years. even regular guys like me can absorb a percentage of all the information the show shares.Try not to miss ashow, even when I’m working out of town
I missed the word for the Galapagos tour on the Jeopardy game on he night of the 24th. I purchased a New York Times on the 25th but I still cannot find the word. Please help me.
It was “Tortoise”, as per the stats recap above, but the deadline to enter the 24th’s word, per the Official Rules, was 7 AM PT on April 25.
I’m trying to enter April 24th and 25th word entries for the Galapolos Great Escapes Sweepstakes and I can’t find where to put them. April 24 was – Tortoise, and April 25 was Expedition
You have to enter each day before 7 AM Pacific (10 AM Eastern the next morning.)
