Jeopardy! recap for Tue., Apr. 9

Here are today’s players in game three of the first-to-two final of the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament:

  • Andrew He, a stay-at-home dad from Concord, California, still seeks his first win in the final;
  • Victoria Groce, a writer & television personality from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, can take the title with a victory today; and
  • Amy Schneider, a writer from Oakland, California, also is just one win away from the championship.

Jeopardy!

WORD CITIES // VAN LIFE // WORDS THAT GO UP TO 11 // LOOKS LIKE WE’RE IN BUSINESS // MUSICAL GENRE MASTERS // LITERARY LINES

DD1 – 800 – LITERARY LINES – From “Hamlet”, “This above all:” this phrase (Victoria dropped $2,800 on a true DD.)

Scores at first break: Amy 3,400, Victoria 2,600, Andrew 1,400.

Scores entering DJ: Amy 4,200, Victoria 5,800, Andrew 3,200.

Double Jeopardy!

ANCIENT HISTORY // REBOOTS & REMAKES // NOBEL PRIZES // THE MEASURE OF A MAN // OPERA SETTINGS // KNEEL BEFORE ZED

DD2 – 1,200 – OPERA SETTINGS – Verdi’s “Falstaff” is set in this town during the reign of Henry IV (Amy dropped 6,200 on a true DD.)

DD3 – 1,600 – THE MEASURE OF A MAN – You only need letters on the left side of the keyboard to type this unit of capacitance that’s named for an English chap (Victoria lost 6,000 from her score of 15,800 vs. 7,600 for Andrew.)

Shockingly, all three DDs were missed (DD1 and DD3 by Victoria and DD2 by Amy). This resulted in a low-scoring game that was up for grabs into FJ with Victoria at 11,400, Andrew with 10,000 and Amy at 7,200.

Final Jeopardy!

BODIES OF WATER – The smallest inland sea in the world, it’s completely within the territory of a single country & connects 2 other larger seas

Everyone was correct on FJ. Victoria added 8,601 to win the game and the tournament with 20,001. Victoria’s victory was worth $100,000 in real money and an invite to Jeopardy! Masters. Amy earned second money of $50,000 with one win in the finals, while Andrew collected $25,000 for third.

For the first time this season, regular Jeopardy! games return tomorrow.

Final scores: Amy 8,600, Victoria 20,001, Andrew 14,401.

Correct Qs: DD1 – What is “to thine own self be true”? DD2 – What is Windsor? DD3 – What is the farad? FJ – What is the Sea of Marmara?
