More information about Final Jeopardy:
Amadis of Gaul is a literary work dating back to medieval times. The oldest surviving printed work of it dates to 1508. It became a well-loved series of literary works in 16th century Spain, to the point that many Spanish conquistadores used the series as inspirations for place names in the New World (one example being California, which has been said to come from Las sergas de Esplandián.)
The character was parodied by Miguel de Cervantes in 1605’s Don Quixote; Quixote idolizes Amadis.

Because of the stupid NFL game, we couldn’t watch the College Final. Why can’t you just say who won tonight? I know there’s a time difference, but the show ended 3.5 hrs. ago. You have a bunch of stats above, and it looks like the Brown student won. I loved them all so who actually won? I’m not about to stay up until 3:30 AM.
Dhruv is in boldface in the section above called “Tonight’s results”.
There is a picture of him with Alex that says $100,000.
