Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category World Leaders) for Friday, June 7, 2024 (Season 40, Game 195):

During a 1972 Presidential visit, Richard Nixon discussed a poem by this leader called “Ode to the Plum Blossom”

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Amogha Tadimety, a biotech startup founder from Cambridge, Massachusetts

Kevin Stuhlmann, a pastor from Rochester Hills, Michigan

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (7-day total: $155,700)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Final Jeopardy has been immaterial every single day this week, as 7-day champion Adriana Harmeyer has picked up runaway victories in her last four games. Today, she hopes to sweep the week against challengers Kevin Stuhlmann of Michigan and Amogha Tadimety of Massachusetts.

I have an occasional mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!

Correct response: Who is Mao Zedong?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

On Richard Nixon’s famous trip to China in 1972, Nixon made a point of reciting the poetry of Chairman Mao, in both speeches and in discussions with Chinese premier Zhou Enlai. Much of Mao’s poetry was inspired by past Chinese emperors, especially the Tang and Song dynasties—writing poetry was a task expected of many past emperors of China. The Poems of Mao Zedong, first allowed to be published in Beijing in 1963, have been translated and published in English since.

Assuming a contestant associates 1972 with Nixon’s visit to China, it should be a relatively straightforward jump over to successfully naming Chairman Mao here.

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: That’s So 1990s; Michigan; 4-Syllable Words; I Got Rhythm; The Mail Perspective; Tv Coupling)

Adriana found the first Daily Double shortly before the break; her pedestrian $2,000 wager, though, meant that she still led after she couldn’t come up with that word, though. At 15 clues, Adriana had $2,600 to Kevin’s $1,400 and Amogha’s $600.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Adriana 8 correct 1 incorrect

Amogha is a founder of a diagnostic start-up.
Kevin caddied at a pair of PGA Western Opens.

Adriana: Standard cover bet over Kevin is $7,601. (Actual bet: $7,800)

Kevin: If Adriana makes a cover bet, she’ll fall to $11,999. Thus, the most you should bet is $1,200, giving you the best chance at victory. (Actual bet: $6,300)

Amogha: Bet whatever you like—you have no chance at victory unless Adriana and Kevin both significantly overbet. (Actual bet: $1,600)
