Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 1960s British Novels) for Thursday, June 13, 2024 (Season 40, Game 199):

The author of this novel said of the last chapter left off U.S. editions, “My young thuggish protagonist grows up”

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Mike Flanagan, a non-profit executive from Winchester, Massachusetts

Hakme Lee, a scientific instructional technician from Seattle, Washington

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (11-day total: $258,700)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

11-day champion Adriana Harmeyer is starting to approach some milestones, having surpassed the $250,000 mark in total winnings already. She’s 36 correct responses from 300 and will very likely reach the “within 30” part of that list after today’s game. However, I would say that Hakme Lee and Mike Flanagan would very much like to put a stop to Adriana’s winning ways!

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: What is A Clockwork Orange?

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.)

Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange was published in two versions: a British version with a 21^st chapter, where protagonist Alex turns away from ultra-violence and “grows up”, and an American version where Alex does not. Burgess’s vision saw Alex growing up because Burgess believed that everyone was capable of reform; his American editor disagreed, believing that it was possible for humans to be incapable of reform. (Yikes!)

Unfortunately for Burgess—who later said that he only originally agreed to the American changes because he needed the money—Stanley Kubrick only read the American version when directing the film adaptation, which is the version of the story that most are familiar with today. Burgess spent the rest of his life annoyed with what he believed to be Kubrick’s omission of the intended ending of the story—though Kubrick believed that the darker story was ultimately better, even after having read the book’s final intended chapter.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Thursday, June 13, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Saintly U.S. Cities; From A To Z; Viva Las Vegas Residencies; 19th Century Newspapers; Reciting Poetry; Rhyme Time)

The opening 15 clues of this one saw 5 incorrect responses, 4 Triple Stumpers, and a Daily Double miss—Adriana led with just $1,000, while Hakme had $800 and Mike -$400.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Adriana 4 correct 1 incorrect
Hakme 3 correct 2 incorrect
Mike 3 correct 2 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Mike was a CrossFit coach.
Hakme thought her fiancé was a keeper on their third date.
Adriana would like to sit around and read books all day.

Another 5 Triple Stumpers and 4 incorrect responses led to scores being relatively low through 30 clues, but all three players were in the black going into Double Jeopardy.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Adriana 10 correct 4 incorrect
Hakme 6 correct 3 incorrect
Mike 4 correct 2 incorrect

Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:

Adriana $2,800
Hakme $2,000
Mike $400

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Secretaries Of Defense; Competitors; Pulitzer Prize-Winning Biographies; Science For “U”; Feature Film Debuts; Foreign Words & Phrases)

Double Jeopardy was much better than the opening round, with just 2 incorrect responses, both from Mike (and one on a Daily Double). Adriana found the last one and her $3,000 wager put her in a crush position, but not a runaway, going into Final.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Adriana 20 correct 4 incorrect
Hakme 12 correct 3 incorrect
Mike 11 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 18 (0 today).

Scores going into Final:

Adriana $15,800
Hakme $9,200
Mike $4,400

Mike and Adriana were both correct in Final Jeopardy; that makes Adriana a 12-day champion; she’ll go for #13 tomorrow!

Tonight’s results:

Mike $4,400 + $726 = $5,126 (What is A Clockwork Orange?)
Hakme $9,200 – $3,000 = $6,200 (What is)
Adriana $15,800 + $4,000 = $19,800 (What is A Clockwork Orange?) (12-day total: $278,500)

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Adriana $15,800 Hakme $9,200 Mike $4,400)

Adriana: Standard cover bet over Hakme is $2,601; I wouldn’t recommend going higher than this, because it’s always a possiblity that second place will underbet here. (Actual bet: $4,000)

Hakme: If Adriana makes a cover bet here and is incorrect, she falls to $13,199. Thus, you need to bet at least $4,000 to pass that. (Actual bet: $3,000)

Mike: If Hakme bets her minimum and is incorrect, she falls to $5,200. Additionally, if Hakme bets to pass Adriana by $1 and is incorrect, she falls to $2,599. Thus, I would bet between $801 and $1,800 here. (Actual bet: $726)
