Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Inventions) for game 1 of the final in the 2017 Tournament of Champions (encore presentation) on Thursday, August 9, 2018 (Season 34, Episode 49):
When Time Magazine named it Invention of the Year in 2007, it was described as too slow, too big, pretty & touchy-feely
(This episode originally aired on November 16, 2017.)
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Remember, this is a 2-game total-point affair, today’s scores get added to tomorrow to determine the champion! The winner receives $250,000; second place $100,000, and third place $50,000.
Cindy Stowell, had she not passed away from stage 4 colon cancer in December 2016, would have qualified for this tournament. The players in the tournament are wearing dark blue ribbons as a way of promoting colon cancer awareness, in memory of Cindy.

Correct response: What is the iPhone?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The iPhone is ubiquitous now, but in 2007, it was revolutionary, and it completely changed how the world thought of mobile phones. While Time did describe the iPhone as all of those things, it also said “It’s a genuine handheld, walk-around computer, the first device that really deserves the name”. Can you imagine a world today without smartphones? I certainly can’t!
The one thing that amuses me is the last sentence of that Time article: that future iPhones would be “even cheaper” (the top-end 8GB iPhone retailed for $599 when it came out). Considering the iPhone X retails for $999, that is one prediction that did not come true!

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Tonight’s results are below!
Scores going into Final:
Alan $14,400
Austin $10,000
Buzzy $4,200
Tonight’s results:
Buzzy $4,200 – $4,200 = $0 (What is the Tesla Model S?)
Austin $10,000 – $3,500 = $6,500 (What is the iPhone? iPad?
Alan $14,400 – $5,600 = $8,800 (What is the iPad)
Thoughts from Andy: It’s very easy to miss a Final Jeopardy! clue like this. It’s very easy to get on the wrong track after seeing INVENTIONS and thinking 19th century and have to move to the 21st. And that says nothing about the immense pressure and intensity faced by the players in the finals. Stage 10 does weird, weird, weird things to people.
Also, Alex Trebek did a Q&A session at my audition back in November. One of the things he stressed: A question might be easy for you, but it might not be easy for someone else. The toughest questions are the ones you don’t get right.
If you got it at home, congratulations! That doesn’t mean anything other than you got it at home, and that takes absolutely nothing away from the three players on stage, who, regardless of their performance on one clue, are still the 3 best players out of the last 850.
