Correct response: What is europium?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
One of the least-abundant rare earth metals, europium is part of the lanthanide series; according to Britannica, the primary use of europium is in red phosphors in optical displays and TV screens that use cathode ray tubes and in glass for fluorescent lamps.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $250 has been raised.)

(This is using the updated model.)
Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 86 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
James Holzhauer qualified 100.000% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 93.079% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 75.962% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 46.231% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 20.881% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 12.163% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Tonight’s score by James is tied for the 5th-highest one-day total of all time. James now holds the top 8 one-day totals, and 10 of the top 12.
- James’ average winning total, $76,624, is only $376 less than the previous one-day record.
- The prediction model gives James a 65.938% of surpassing Ken Jennings’ total of $2,520,700.
- If James wins more than $62,830 tomorrow, he will break his record of “most money won in a taping session”, set last week at $436,891.
- James is the first player in the show’s history to get 15 of their first 16 Final Jeopardy! clues correct.
- With 572 correct responses, James moves to #4 on the all-time list in terms of number of correct responses, passing David Madden. Julia Collins is #3 on the list (584).
- $90,812 is a reference to James’ wedding anniversary (9/8/12), much like his frequent $9,812 bets on Daily Doubles.
