Correct response: Who is Tony Blair?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
I’m not sure why the Jeopardy! writers thought this was a good subject for a Final Jeopardy!; but hey, it’s their show. I mean, the clue is written properly, and it pins to the correct answer, but this clue seems to be lacking any sort of tease-out metric”, especially for an American audience.
And yes, it pins to the correct answer. While Tony Blair was born May 6, 1953, Queen Elizabeth II became queen when her father died in 1952, even though her coronation took place June 2, 1953.
When I first encountered this clue as New York Times Clue of the Day, I was hoping that this clue was going to be a $2,000 Daily Double, that Cameron, Brown, and Major were earlier clues in the category, and the writers were trying to reward taking a category from top-to-bottom. But, alas, this is Final Jeopardy!.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 141 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.9977 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6736).
An average of 7.235 4+-time champions (standard deviation 2.0675).
An early cutoff took place 18.132% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Aaron Lichtig qualified 3.476% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 58.952% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 33.472% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 11.752% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 3.028% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 0.373% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- After yesterday’s clunker in the closed captions, I didn’t think we could top it, but xi instead of pi on the third clue of the game is absolutely inexcusable.
- Kudos to both of our players in Final for getting that one correct.
- Today was the first 0-for-3 on the Daily Doubles since December 26, and today had the worst Daily Double Efficiency since October 24.
- Good on all 3 players for staying in POTENT POE TALES until the Daily Double was found. It’s too bad it didn’t work out for Rachel, but at least she can call herself a Jeopardy! champion; a title nobody can take away from her.
- Effective in first on buzzer percentages: Aaron 42.00% (21/50), Nancy 38.00% (19/50), Rachel 20.00% (10/50)
