Jeopardy is my all time favorite game show. If someone can find the youtube of "canadian teen awkwardly tells story" about going to the bear park but not seeing a bear I will love you forever.

I am sure this story is apocryphal enough that several people tell it but the guy who just won the teacher's tournament told an anecdote about being invited to some fundraiserand not going for a guy with a weird name in 2000 that wound up being Barack Obama. However earlier in the week on GSN's Jeopardy replays a white guy told the same story in 2009. Did this guy jack his anecdote?

escape artist posted:I like it a lot. I've been planning to try and go on there for years, but I can't seem to force myself to learn about opera, baseball and the other terrible categories that inevitably will pop up. I forget where I read this article but there's an economic analysis research of Jeopardy that says you don't have to have perspicacity to win. You can only know a few things about a subject and as long as you don't guess too often you will probably make enough money to do well. Example: If they have an art category you may not know the answer but answers of Picasso, Van Gogh etc are more likely than not to be correct.

I was so pissed nobody got Final Jeopardy right last night. What's even worse is it's not like Minnesota has a ton of hall of fame rock stars but they all picked the wrong one.

Jack Gladney posted:I haven't been able to watch in a few weeks, but I recently saw a promo for a talk show interview with a Jeopardy contestant who was supposedly treated unfairly or lost due to a technicality or something. Does anybody know the deal with that story, or where I could find more information? I think I saw the promo around December 18 or so. This was Wheel of Fortune where the puzzle answer was Seven Swans a Swimming but the woman, being from the south, said swimmin' and was not awarded $3800. She went on to lose the game by $3200.

Mukaikubo posted:Nailed it. Was uncertain about 6 of my answers, but even if I duffed them all it'll still be a qualifying score; time to play the waiting game to see if random chance fails me once more. Same the only ones I didn't get I would not have gotten with unlimited time. This was easily the most difficult of the tests among the three.

No Manners No posted:Seeing this segment on The Soup got me to actually start paying attention to the anecdotes again. I've been catching up on the show in little mini-marathons and noticed that January is the month of contestants telling hamburger-related stories. There's been at least 4. What's up with choosing to tell the world that you ate a burger? December was the month of "I was invited to a fundraiser for some guy named Barack Obama but didn't think he would be anybody" anecdotes.

Our preferred method of ringing in was for two people to touch alternate bars and then one to slap the back of the other person's head to complete the electrical circuit.

Barrett is one of those guys who does everything in his radio voice. e: escape artist posted:If Nilai had wagered enough and gotten the correct answer, he could have still beaten Leonard, right? After day one the scores were: Nilai Barrett Leonard $19,000 $17,600 $3,000 Scores at the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round: Nilai Barrett Leonard $14,400 $9,000 $37,000 Potentially Nilai could have had 19,000 + 28,800 = 47,800. Leonard should have bet at least 7800 but didn't so that was really ballsy.

QuickbreathFinisher posted:I was doing this too, my thought process was literally "Nobel Prize, no wait, that's way too loving easy......But there are no other common knowledge prizes for physics, right?" It said he was the last to accomplish this alone in 1992 so I was thinking it might have been cold fusion at first. After remembering those physicists were from Utah and could not repeat that task I went to Nobel Prize.
