Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Business) for Tuesday, April 23, 2024 (Season 40, Game 162):

In the 1850s the .925 sterling silver standard was instituted by this company, the first American one to do so

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Mark Lashley, a professor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lianne Schaffer, a piano teacher & musician from Newton, Massachusetts

Nam Nguyen, a playwright from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (1-day total: $26,999)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Nam Nguyen became your new Jeopardy! champion yesterday when his supreme buzzer skill—he got in on 16 of his 19 attempts in Double Jeopardy—helped unseat two-day champion Marko Saric. Today, he faces off against Mark Lashley and Lianne Schaffer.

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 Tiffany & Co.?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

Because pure silver is generally seen as too soft for modern use, it is usually alloyed with other metals, generally copper, in order to increase its strength. This became known as “sterling silver”; the true etymology of “sterling” is still debated. As a way of ensuring the quality of sterling silver, the English legally required 12 troy ounces of sterling silver to contain 11oz, 2.25dwt of pure silver and 17.75dwt of alloyed metal—approximately 92.6% silver. This later moved to an alloy of 92.5% silver, and in 1851, Tiffany & Co. signed an agreement with New York silversmith John C. Moore to create silverware pieces. As part of that agreement, Moore used the English sterling silver standard, which was later adopted throughout the United States for sterling silver.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, April 23, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Presidents & First Ladies; Culture, Popularly; Italian Products; Words & Their Meanings; What Are You Afraid Of?; Relax, It’s Math)

While Lianne got to the Daily Double, Nam picked up 7 correct in the opening round to jump out into the lead. He had at $5,200 at the break, to Mark’s $1,000 and Lianne’s $800.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Nam 7 correct 0 incorrect
Mark 3 correct 1 incorrect
Lianne 2 correct 1 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Mark got The Call on the same day his wife’s first novel was published.
Lianne plays in a classic rock cover band.
Nam got The Call the same day his mom’s car was stolen.

All three players had good segments after the break—except for maybe Nam failing to pick up a key “December” in a clue about Gene Autry. Lianne sat second after 30 clues, with Mark picking first in Double Jeopardy.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Nam 13 correct 1 incorrect
Lianne 5 correct 1 incorrect
Mark 7 correct 1 incorrect

Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:

Nam $8,600
Lianne $2,600
Mark $1,800

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: The Picture Of Someone Named Grey; Shared International Lakes; Name That Author; 20th Century Song, 21st Century Ad; I’ll Remember Late April; “Pro” Nouns)

Nam may have had a case of “once bitten, twice shy”—after missing the first Daily Double, he bet just $2,000 on the last one—which meant that Mark was able to keep Nam from having a runaway on the final clue of the round.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Nam 25 correct 2 incorrect
Mark 17 correct 4 incorrect
Lianne 8 correct 1 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 4 (0 today).

Scores going into Final:

Nam $17,600
Mark $9,000
Lianne $7,000

The two Americans got Tiffany, the Canadian did not—and that means that Mark is our new champion! He returns tomorrow to defend.

Tonight’s results:

Lianne $7,000 + $7,000 = $14,000 (What is Tiffany?)
Mark $9,000 + $8,601 = $17,601 (What is Tiffany?) (1-day total: $17,601)
Nam $17,600 – $401 = $17,199 (What is Wells Fargo?)
