Correct response: What is The Deerslayer?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
1841’s The Deerslayer is Natty Bumppo, the main character in James Fenimore Cooper’s five works known collectively as The Leatherstocking Tales. The Deerslayer was the first chronologically in the series, set before The Last of the Mohicans, but last to be published.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 87 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
James Holzhauer qualified 100.000% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 92.722% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 74.722% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 43.456% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 16.797% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 7.629% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Robin really reminded me of Jennifer Morrow.
- It took Ken Jennings until his 38th game to win more money than James’ current total of $1,275,587.
- James has now had 11 consecutive games with at least 30 correct responses (including Final Jeopardy clues). The record is 29 (Ken Jennings’ games 20 through 48, inclusive).
- Per the prediction model, the chances of James breaking Ken’s winnings total of $2,520,700 currently sit at 59.771%.
- During the taping of this week’s games, James won $423,661. This is $13,230 short of the record he set last week.
- James has passed Julia Collins (584) for 3rd all-time in terms of number of correct responses given on Jeopardy. He’s also the 3rd person to pass 600. Brad Rutter is 2nd on the all-time list at 693.
