Correct response: What is the Great Salt Lake?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Unlike most North American lakes, the Great Salt Lake is endorheic (it has no outlet besides evaporation). Thus, while the water can evaporate, the minerals in the water (like sodium) can not, leaving a body of water that has become more saline than the ocean. Swimmers can be more buoyant in these lakes than they would be in ocean water or fresh water, due to the increased density of the brine. Salt Lake City, Utah, is named after the lake.
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 Alex Trebek’s preferred charity. (The de facto alumni association is currently inquiring with the show in order to determine Alex Trebek’s preferred charity; this will be updated when that has been determined. To date, $239.35 has been raised.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 101 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.1534 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.4216).
An average of 5.0272 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.9449).
An early cutoff took place 5.249% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
James Holzhauer qualified 70.718% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 80.688% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 57.095% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 29.072% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 11.324% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 0.933% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: James 50.00% (27/54), Alex 46.30% (25/54), Anna 3.70% (2/54).
- The first-day winnings record: $50,000 (Myron Meyer).
- The highest regular-play score going into Final Jeopardy! on Day 1: $42,200 (Larissa Kelly)
- The highest regular-play score after the Jeopardy! round on Day 1: $16,200 (Tom McCudden, December 9, 2004)
- The highest Day 1 Coryat score: $36,000 ($18,000 doubled), Wes Ulm.
- While I am not going to specifically publish “negative” stats, I will say that no records were broken during this game.
