Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Roger 15,200 Matt 10,600 Juveria 8,000)
Matt: You have two choices here: the conservative choice is to play for the Triple Stumper and bet no more than 1,399. Or, you could cover Juveria and bet 5,401. (Actual bet: 5,401)
Roger: Cover bet is 6,001. (Actual bet: 6,001)
Juveria: You have to be correct to win. I’d go all in here to force Matt to cover. (Actual bet: 8,000)

Just a general comment…
I am very excited after watching the first evening of the Jeopardy! Masters Tournament!!
Looks like it’s going to be compelling and fun Rick!
A more competetive game throughout the match. Final Jeopardy. I was not aware that Milton had written a sequel to Paradise Lost. But, though I’m obviously aware of the first book, I’m only vaguely aware of what it’s about, so I again had no framr reference to even make a guess.
I had heard of the book “Paradise Regained” but thought it had been written by someone else later, though that would not have kept it from being the correct response as the clue was written. However, both not knowing any details to either book, all I could think of that might fit was “Pilgrim’s Progress” (though I actually doubted that was it). I was at least gratified to see that the leader/winner considered that one, too.
