Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Final Resting Places) for Friday, August 12, 2022 (Season 38, Game 48):
A cemetery on this island has the graves of Robert Fulton & 2 of the first 4 Treasury Secretaries
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Amy Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, California
Max McDonald, a freelance artist & designer from Brooklyn, New York
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (5-day total: $157,365)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today’s game was originally broadcast on November 17, 2021.
“Best of Season 38” continues with one of the more important games of Jeopardy! history in hindsight: Amy Schneider’s first game, as she stopped Andrew He from winning his sixth game.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Yes, Manhattan is an island; it is bounded by the Hudson River, Harlem River, East River, and New York Harbor. The northern part of the Harlem River, Spuyten Duyvil Creek (that forms the northern part of Manhattan’s border), was the key part of a famous Final Jeopardy! that the show asked during the Ultimate Tournament of Champions back in 2005 and was the start of Grace Veach’s unlikely run to the Round of 18 in that tournament.
Robert Fulton, Alexander Hamilton (the first Treasury Secretary), and Albert Gallatin (the fourth Treasury Secretary) are all buried at Trinity Church Cemetery on the island of Manhattan.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Nations By World Heritage Sites; Italian Arts & Culture; Biblical First Names; It’s A New Machine; 1985 In Entertainment; Beverage Rhymes)
Max got out to an early advantage but fell back after missing a Daily Double. Following that, Andrew found a bit of a groove and jumped out to a bit of a lead after Single Jeopardy!
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Andrew 6 correct 1 incorrect
Amy 3 correct 1 incorrect
Max 3 correct 1 incorrect
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Andrew 13 correct 1 incorrect
Amy 9 correct 1 incorrect
Max 5 correct 1 incorrect
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: The Pittsburgh Address; It’s History; Readers, Digest; Science; Grammy’s Album Of The Year; Same First & Last Letter)
Amy got to the first Daily Double and used it to jump into the lead, which she kept until the midpoint. Unfortunately for her, Andrew got to the last Daily Double—and he successfully doubled up through it to jump into a commanding lead! Unfortunately for him, he was unable to turn it into a runaway. Scores going into the Final were Andrew at $26,800, Amy at $19,600, and Max at $6,800.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Andrew 21 correct 1 incorrect
Amy 23 correct 1 incorrect
Max 10 correct 1 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 4 (0 today).
Andrew not having a runaway was crucial, as Amy was the only correct contestant tonight. So, she’ll be today’s win. (Spoiler alert: You’ll see a few more of Amy’s games going forward during these reruns.)

Today’s interviews:
Amy has a podcast about “Downton Abbey”.
Max was a test subject for acupuncture students in college.
Andrew has perfect pitch.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- There’s always a chance that a player who doesn’t have a runaway will lose in Final Jeopardy. Andrew could have gone significantly longer; luck just came for him early.
Amy significantly lowered her chances of winning by betting too much in Final Jeopardy, falling for Zerg’s Fallacy in this case. Amy should have bet no more than $5,199.
Today’s “Clue of the Day” was: In 1756 Voltaire wrote that this, which had lasted nearly a thousand years, was none of the 3 elements in its name; it was in the category It’s History. The correct response: What is the Holy Roman Empire?
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Andrew $26,800 Amy $17,600 Max $6,800)
Andrew: Standard cover bet over Amy is $12,401. (Actual bet: $12,401)
Max: You don’t really have much of a chance of improving your position unless someone overbets. Bet whatever you like; however, if you bet at least $1,600, it would defend against one of Amy’s more likely overbets. (Betting to pass Tyler’s score by $1.) (Actual bet: $6,798)
Amy: If Andrew bets to cover you and is incorrect, he falls to $14,399. Thus, limit your bet to $5,199. (Actual bet: $12,000)
