Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Detective Authors) for Tuesday, October 22, 2024 (Season 41, Game 32):

For much of the 1920s, he lived on Eddy Street in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Will Wallace, a game design director from Austin, Texas

Stephanie Cooper, a Ph.D. candidate from Baltimore, Maryland

Tristan Brown, a re-entry employment advocate from Richmond, Virginia (1-day total: $22,700)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

After being the only player to get yesterday’s Final Jeopardy clue correct, Richmond, Virginia’s Tristan Brown became the new Jeopardy! champion. Today, he faces off against Austin, Texas’s Will Wallace and Baltimore, Maryland’s Stephanie Cooper.

Correct response: Who is Dashiell Hammett?

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.)

A residence that re-entered the news cycle in May 2023 when it was put up for sale, 620 Eddy Street in San Francisco served as the residence of famed detective author Dashiell Hammett, famous for works like The Maltese Falcon. Hammett tended to set his works, such as The Continental Op and The Maltese Falcon, in San Francisco itself, which should be the major clue pointing everyone towards the correct response today. (Note that Raymond Chandler’s best known work, The Big Sleep, as well as Erle Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason books, were both set in Los Angeles.)

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, October 22, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Selling Insurance; That’s Just Part Of The Story; 6 By 6 Names; TV Transports; It’s A Peninsula; “M” Before “N”)

Defending champ Tristan got off to the best start, picking up 9 correct and jumping out to a big lead after 15 clues. At the break, Tristan had $5,000 to Stephanie’s $1,800 and Will’s $600.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Tristan 9 correct 0 incorrect
Stephanie 3 correct 1 incorrect
Will 2 correct 0 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Will played music in an Americana festival in Britain.
Stephanie studies serpents in the ancient Middle East.
Tristan was bitten by a monkey in Guatemala.

Will found the Daily Double; unfortunately, an incorrect response dropped him to $0. Tristan led after 30 thanks to another five correct responses.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Tristan 14 correct 0 incorrect
Stephanie 6 correct 2 incorrect
Will 6 correct 1 incorrect

Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:

Stephanie $3,200
Will $1,000

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: The Dutch Colonial Empire; Pop Stars; The Cultural 19th Century; French Words & Phrases; Chemistry; She’s A Saint!)

A very closely contested Double Jeopardy round saw Will go on a roll mid-round to jump into the lead. However, he’d only bet $2,000 apiece on those Daily Doubles—which allowed for Stephanie to take a $400 lead going into Final Jeopardy.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Stephanie 16 correct 3 incorrect
Tristan 20 correct 3 incorrect
Will 13 correct 2 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 2 (0 today).

Scores going into Final:

Tristan $10,000
Will $9,400

Will was the only player correct in Final Jeopardy; that makes him the new champion!

Tonight’s results:

Will $9,400 + $9,399 = $18,799 (Who is Hammett?) (1-day total: $18,799)
Tristan $10,000 – $10,000 = $0 (Who is Mostley? xoxo Julie Polly Matt Allison)
Stephanie $10,400 – $5,000 = $5,400 (Who is I had fun! Hi Bmore)

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Watching this episode, I got the sense that Stephanie gave up on this Final Jeopardy clue way too quickly–at least judging by when she was writing things down—and I found that disappointing as a fan.
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Stephanie $10,400 Tristan $10,000 Will $9,400)

Tristan: Standard cover bet over Will is $8,800. (Actual bet: $10,000)

Stephanie: Standard cover bet over Tristan is $9,601. (Actual bet: $5,000)

Will: I would bet between $2,001 and $8,199. (Actual bet: $9,399)
