Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category U.S. States) for Tuesday, June 11, 2024 (Season 40, Game 197):

Of the 10 U.S. states with 2-word names, this one stretches the farthest south

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Scott McCann, a math teacher from Germantown, Tennessee

Sarah Hartzell, an audiovisual archivist originally from Howell, New Jersey

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (9-day total: $204,700)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Today is an important day for fans of Adriana Harmeyer; is today the day she becomes the 17^th player in Jeopardy! history to win ten regular-play games? Or, does her streak stop at nine? Today’s challengers are Sarah Hartzell—another archivist—and math teacher Scott McCann.

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 New Mexico?

The two 2-word states that stretch farthest south, South Carolina and New Mexico, come very close to having the same southernmost point; however, western New Mexico (near the area of Antelope Wells) does stretch farther south than southern South Carolina does.

Interestingly, I—the Canadian—got this one correct after about five seconds’ worth of thinking, though I definitely did not realize how far south South Carolina went when I checked my answer against the map. Someone more familiar with the east coast may guess South Carolina here. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays!

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, June 11, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Off We “Go”; From The Ad; New To The OED; The Dreaded Opera Category; Cleanup Men; AKA)

While it was Scott who got off to the early advantage, a rebounded incorrect response meant that Adriana led after 15 clues. At the interviews, Adriana had $2,800, Scott $2,400, and Sarah (who also missed the Daily Double) had -$1,400.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Adriana 6 correct 1 incorrect
Scott 4 correct 1 incorrect
Sarah 1 correct 2 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Scott is like his 11th grade math teacher.
Sarah took a trip to Croatia.
Adriana went to a whole bunch of Sylvan Lakes across America.

Scott, on the strength of going 3/5 in the CLEANUP MEN category, jumped into a $1,600 lead after 30 clues.

Scott 9 correct 1 incorrect
Adriana 10 correct 3 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Historic Descendants; Authors Before Authoring; Observatories; Ceramics; The Title Is An Adjective; A “K-A”)

Adriana had a strong Double Jeopardy round, but a miss on the last Daily Double meant that everyone was still very much in contention going into clue #61.

Adriana 23 correct 4 incorrect

Sarah 8 correct 3 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 18 (0 today).

Sarah $5,400 + $3,000 = $8,400 (What is New Mexico?)
Scott $10,200 + $8,001 = $18,201 (What is New Mexico (Hi Eva + Noah!))

Andy’s Thoughts:

• “Math teacher” is an occupation that—when I analyze these games from a wagering strategy perspective—invites more scrutiny by virtue of the occupation, in my opinion.
• Following on from that: I can not figure out what Scott was defending against with his wager—I’m not entirely sure why he thought Adriana would bet $3,800. Had his wager been $7,801, I could have at least seen the strategic thought behind it, but I’m at a loss to explain Scott’s wager right now.
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Adriana $14,400 Scott $10,200 Sarah $5,400)

Adriana: Standard cover bet over Scott is $6,001. (Actual bet: $6,600)

Sarah: As Scott has reason to limit his bet to just $601 here, I would bet at least $4,200—but I’d also consider going all in here, as you need to be correct to win. (Actual bet: $3,000)

Scott: Standard cover bet over Sarah is $601; I’d consider going small, just in case Sarah underbets herself. (Actual bet: $8,001)
