An average of 2.9136 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3229).
An average of 4.4813 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6174).
An early cutoff took place 11.372% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Julie Brannon qualified 22.155% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 66.182% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 23.638% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 5.308% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 1.112% of the time
Miscellany:
- This game had the highest combined Coryat ($47,200) and highest combined score after Double Jeopardy ($54,200) since April 25, 2016 (Buzzy Cohen’s first game, $51,400 combined Coryat, $58,800 combined score.)
- The average future value of a win on Jeopardy! for a player with an $18,800 Coryat in their first game is $42,524. Thus, it could be said that the fact that her bet dropped Julie’s chances of winning from 50.8% to 21.8% dropped her expected value from $40,170.30 to $10,740.72 — a difference of $29,429.60 (due to the chances of finishing 2nd and 3rd)
- Today’s game had the second-highest regular-play third-place score going into Final Jeopardy (of $17,400) since October 4, 2004. Lee Ann Roberts had $18,000 going into Final on January 8, 2013.
