Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Classical Music) for Tuesday, July 4, 2023 (Season 39, Game 212):

Composed around 1720, this group of instrumental works was dedicated to a younger brother of Prussian king Frederick I

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Chuck Beem, an HRIS analyst from Florissant, Missouri

Kate Campolieta, a corporate communications specialist from Simsbury, Connecticut

Elliott Kim, a television editor from Los Angeles, California (1-day total: $24,400)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Happy Fourth of July! Yesterday’s Jeopardy! saw Elliott Kim put in a very strong performance, racking up over $27,000 going into Final. Although Final didn’t completely work out for him, I’d be very surprised if yesterday was his only victory. Today’s challengers are Connecticut’s Kate Campolieta and Missouri’s Chuck Beem.

Chuck was introduced today as an HRIS analyst. What is an HRIS analyst? HRIS stands for “Human Resources information systems” and would generally refer to the databases & computer systems that companies use to manage their HR departments—managing payroll, benefits, performance reviews, training records, etc.

Correct response: What are the Brandenburg Concertos?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

The Brandenburg Concertos are Johann Sebastian Bach’s famous collection of six concertos, presented to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt and younger brother of Prussian king Frederick I. Interestingly, Christian Ludwig apparently lacked the musicians to perform the concertos, as his brother was not a significant patron of the arts. However, all six concertos receive significant play today. (I personally would say that the first movement of Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048, is the most recognizable overall, at least to me.)

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Happy July 4th!; Words That End With Double Letters; Lady “A”; Where’s My Food?; Westminster-Winning Dog Breeds; A Biblical Burial)

Kate got off to a great start, picking off $1,000 clues early off the bottom of the board. Elliott attempted to catch up but his comeback was derailed by a very slightly incorrect response on a Daily Double (it was a 100% correct call from the judges, though.)

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Kate 7 correct 1 incorrect
Chuck 2 correct 0 incorrect
Elliott 3 correct 1 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Chuck is the father of 5 children.
Kate is a very big Pittsburgh Penguins fan.
Elliott lost to a team of Jeopardy! contestants at pub trivia.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Kate 10 correct 1 incorrect
Chuck 5 correct 2 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: U.S. Festivals; Science; Let’s Go To The Sports Book; World Rivers; Foreign Words & Phrases; Art”s”)

In a round that saw 8 incorrect responses, 4 of which at the $2,000 level, the scores stayed down. Neither Elliott nor Chuck were able to go into Kate’s lead, and she cruised to a runaway, helped by Chuck getting both Daily Doubles incorrect.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Kate 17 correct 4 incorrect
Chuck 13 correct 6 incorrect
Elliott 11 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 35 (0 today).

Final Jeopardy! was a Triple Stumper today, but Kate’s runaway means she’s the new champion! She’ll return tomorrow to defend.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• #87 belongs to Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby; clearly, Kate bet Crosby’s uniform number in Final Jeopardy.
• In case you’re here to ask why Chuck lost $1,600 and not $800 for the judge’s reversal: remember that he was originally given credit for a correct response. Thus, to go from correct (+800) to incorrect (-800), you have to deduct $1,600 from Chuck’s score.

• Today’s box score: July 4, 2023 Box Score.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Kate $11,600 Chuck $1,400 Elliott $1,100)

Elliott: Limit your bet to $499. (Actual bet: $806)

Kate: Limit your bet to $8,799. (Actual bet: $87)

Chuck: Standard cover bet over Elliott is $801. (Actual bet: $1,399)
