A 2011 email said, “On September 17, we want to see 20,000 people…set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and” these 3 words

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Steven Olson is now a 3-day Jeopardy! champion, going for victory #4 today against math teacher Jaedon Jerue and English professor Natalie Shapero. As things stand right now, Steven has definitely locked up a postseason spot somewhere; it’s only a matter of how high up on the ladder he’ll start.
As I also follow the MLB playoff races in the final week of the season, imagine how baseball fans—or even teams themselves—would react if they had to wait for Rob Manfred to announce on Sunday evening at the end of the regular season exactly how many teams received playoff spots. Or, for an example that works worldwide, imagine if teams in the Premier League were on tenterhooks waiting to hear from UEFA how many teams from England qualify for the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League. The fact that Jeopardy! wants to be seen as a sport and does not do the same feels unconscionable. Knowing explicitly how many teams/players get a postseason spot is an important thing for the fanbase to know, so that they can get increasingly invested in the postseason every year; this has the potential to drive ratings higher.

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Lasting for 59 days in the fall of 2011, Occupy Wall Street was a left-wing populist movement protesting economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of money in politics, among other things, based out of Zuccotti Park in the Financial District of New York. Their main catchphrase, “We are the 99%”, was a direct reference to the massive inequality in wealth between the wealthiest 1% compared to the rest of the population.
Comparing 2025 to 2011, I would certainly say that Occupy Wall Street was largely unsuccessful in its aims, if one strictly looks at the increase in economic inequality in the decade and a half since. However, I certainly hope that we might look back on this paragraph in a few years and laugh at how incorrect I turned out to be.

Unfortunately, I did “The Ninety-Nine Percent”, not “Occupy Wall Street”. I realized also, after reading the reveal, that my answer wouldn’t even work, being that it is a compound word and thus counting as 4 rather than 3 as the question required.
” I certainly hope that we might look back on this paragraph in a few years and laugh at how incorrect I turned out to be.”
Doubtful…always good to try to be positive…but it’s gonna get worse not better. Gotten worse every year.
Had occupy but because that spread to other cities of the country-Wall Street never entered my mind!
