Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Pairs in Astronomy) for Tuesday, July 12, 2022 (Season 38, Game 217):
Discovered in 1877, they were named for siblings of the Greek god of love
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Ben Coller, a history teacher from East Brunswick, New Jersey
Tehmeena Malik, a business developer from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Steve Clarke, a lawyer from Chesapeake, Virginia (1-day total: $18,401)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Steve Clarke used knowledge of wagering strategy to major effect last night, winning last night’s game by just $2! And despite what the idiots at Entertainment Weekly are saying—no math errors were made last night. (That EW article is so grossly improper—it essentially accuses a math professor of professional incompetence—that I believe it needs to be officially retracted.) Moving onto today’s game, Steve defends his title against Tehmeena Malik—a Canadian!—and Ben Coller.
Editorially: In protest of how tabloid entertainment papers are constantly mining Twitter to twist people’s words for their anti-Mayim Bialik hit pieces, I will not be live-tweeting mid-game statistics for this week’s games. However, I will be posting them here on this page for the sake of anyone who might still be interested in them.
On a more personal note: For the past two and a half years, I have often raised money for the MS Society of Canada through their “Gamers vs. MS” program. This July, Gamers vs. MS is running a month-long fundraising campaign called “Boss Battles.” In an attempt to raise $25,000, the Gamers vs. MS team has designed a “fundraising adventure” to defeat eight evil bosses. (Much like a Mario game might have eight bosses to defeat.) You can get more information about the program at https://www.gamersvsms.ca/bossbattles, and if you’d like to donate, you can do so via Tiltify!.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What are Phobos & Deimos?
More Information About Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Phobos and Deimos, the two moons of Mars, were discovered in 1877 by American Asaph Hall. They were two sons of Ares (known to the Romans as Mars), and brothers of Eros. Phobos and Deimos were known in Greek mythology for following their father—the Greek god of war—into battle.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Human Anatomy; The Lyin’ King; Who’s In That Commercial?; In Disposable; National-Sounding Items; Welcome to the Jungle)
Steve and Tehmeena had the best time in the Jeopardy! round today, with Tehmeena picking up 6 correct over the first 15 clues, and Steve picking up 9 in the back half of the round. Ben struggled on the signalling device.
Jeopardy at the first break (15 clues):
Tehmeena 6 correct 1 incorrect
Steve 5 correct 1 incorrect
Ben 2 correct 0 incorrect
After the Jeopardy round:
Steve 14 correct 2 incorrect
Tehmeena 8 correct 1 incorrect
Ben 3 correct 2 incorrect
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Lakes & Rivers & A Mountain; Vampires in Literature; The Alexander Files; Sounds Smart; On the Label; “Top” of the Pops)
Steve continued his strong play, dominating on the signalling device (in spite of 5 incorrect responses in the round). Ben was much better, getting $10,000 in this round alone, but it was Steve, via an interesting betting scenario on the final clue of Double Jeopardy, getting to exactly twice Ben’s total. Scores going into Final were Steve at $20,000, Ben at $10,000, and Tehmeena at $3,200.
After Double Jeopardy:
Steve 25 correct 7 incorrect
Ben 13 correct 4 incorrect
Tehmeena 10 correct 5 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 83 (0 today).
Ben was the only correct player in Final Jeopardy today—which would ordinarily mean a victory for him. However, in an occurrence that happens much too frequently, Ben failed to bet enough for the situation, which meant that he handed victory over to Steve. It’ll be 2-day champion Steve who’ll be back to defend tomorrow!

Today’s interviews:
Ben was introduced to Jeopardy! because of Universe of Energy at EPCOT.
Tehmeena was disqualified from poolside trivia in Cabo for knowing too much.
Steve is very nonconfrontational in spite of being a lawyer.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Today’s Final Jeopardy! betting illustrates exactly why I suggest that the leader should bet exactly $1 in this situation. Remember, ties after Final Jeopardy! are broken by a tiebreaker clue now (and have been in regular play since November 2014.)
- Link to the box score: July 12, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Steve $20,000 Ben $10,000 Tehmeena $3,200)
Steve: Bet $1. Your chances of winning are highest overall when you attempt to avoid a tiebreaker. Why not more than $1? Because the trailer often doesn’t bet everything; thus, exactly $1 give you the best chance overall to win. (Actual bet: $1)
Tehmeena: You don’t really have much chance to win today. Any bet that isn’t “everything” gives you the best chance of taking second place. (Actual bet: $3,200)
Ben: You have exactly one good bet: All $10,000. Anything else is terrible. (Actual bet: $3,000)
