Correct response: Who is Sigmund Freud?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

Because the Surrealists generally believed in engaging the unconscious aspects of the mind for creativity, Sigmund Freud quickly became the “patron saint” of the group, and Salvador Dali even painted a portrait of Freud (seen below).

A portrait by Salvador Dali of Sigmund Freud, the subject of Final Jeopardy! on January 11, 2019.

Dali had made a few attempts to meet Freud in Vienna but was unable to, and only met Freud in London in 1938. The Freud Museum London currently has an exhibition running until next month about Freud’s influence on Dali and their London meeting.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 150 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 4.3561 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.7362).
An average of 7.8351 4+-time champions (standard deviation 2.1403).

An early cutoff took place 24.697% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).

Anneke Garcia qualified 32.372% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 47.634% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 21.632% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 8.026% of the time.
Jackie Fuchs qualified 1.280% of the time.
Mary Ann Borer qualified 0.135% of the time.

Andy’s Thoughts:

  • Sometimes a good player needs a fortuitous bounce or two in order to continue their run. I thought for sure that Anneke was going to lose today on this Final Jeopardy!, but the smaller bet in Final Jeopardy! (a bet which seemed to be designed to take Sarah out of play) worked to Anneke’s advantage.
  • That being said, Sarah’s wager was, well, not one I would have made. In general, Sarah’s best chances of winning come with a wager of $0, and every other bet in this situation lessens her chances of winning.
  • I would have been disappointed had Anneke lost, as I’ve been impressed with her breadth of knowledge over two days. Too many really good players have lost too soon over the past few months. I’m excited to see her continue her run on Monday.
  • Pickle juice gelatin? I’ll pass.
