Todd can certainly solidify his chances of making it into the Tournament of Champions by winning today!
Today’s contestants:
Milton John, a physical therapist from Nanuet, NY
Oliver Bundy, an attorney from Anchorage, AK
Todd Giese, a hotel front desk manager from New Orleans, LA (3-day total: $74,402)
Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Todd $19,000
Milton $4,000
Oliver $800
Final Jeopardy! category: ASIAN CITIES
Final Jeopardy! clue: Of Asia’s 10 most populous urban areas, this city on an island is the only one south of the equator
What is Jakarta, Indonesia? (Milton said Mumbai, Todd said Sydney)
Oliver 800 + 799 = 1599
Milton 4000 – 2000 = 2000
Todd 19000 – 10999 = 8001 (4-day total: $82,403)
Population questions always make me uneasy, especially because of so many different ways of counting “urban areas” in different countries, but this seems like a good well-sourced list here of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. Obviously, though, there are sources that disagree greatly on the population of the urban agglomeration surrounding Guangzhou (Canton) in China; some estimates place the population there at over 44 million; others, less than 20 million! (Not that there’s anything wrong with tonight’s Final Jeopardy – every source agrees that Greater Jakarta is over 30 million, even though the city proper is around just under 10 million people)
So, how many April Fool’s jokes did you spot in this game? Leave comments with ones you spotted and I’ll add to the list!
- They started with an old shot of Alex coming out without pants, but cut back really quickly
- On the first Daily Double, numbers were mirrored on the contestants’ lecterns
- Jeopardy was misspelled Jepardy in the lower left corner during the second segment
- A cameo appearance by IBM’s Watson
- They had some shots where Alex gave the correct response, but looked a decade younger when doing so, with a moustache
- A Daily Double where the full screen was upside-down
- Using Wheel of Fortune sound effects on a Daily Double
- A cameo from Ken Jennings responding “What is turquoise?”
- There was a shot at the start of Final Jeopardy from an international version (Estonia)
- Milton’s wrong answer in Final Jeopardy was met with the Wheel of Fortune Bankrupt sound
(Meanwhile: Did you hear about the breaking news regarding Canadians?)
