Correct response: What is The Handmaid’s Tale?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The Handmaid’s Tale is a 1985 novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. It regained prominence in the 21st century as it was turned into a hit television series. It focuses on the life of Offred (“of Fred”), named as such because in the book, handmaidens are forbidden to use their birth names and must be tied to the male (master) who they serve.
Atwood has long contended that anything that took place in the novel was something that had taken place somewhere in real life.
A sequel, The Testaments, will be published in 2019.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 142 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 4.0467 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6845).
An average of 7.3147 4+-time champions (standard deviation 2.0784).
An early cutoff took place 18.986% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Rachel Paterno-Mahler qualified 6.422% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 57.797% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 32.350% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 11.087% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 2.858% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 0.355% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- I’ll be honest: that was a heartbreaking result for me to see.
- Alex made a comment regarding Tim being good at CRIMINOLOGY after he ran it. Of course he would be good at it, he’s a paralegal!
- It’s not often that two different contestants run a category in Double Jeopardy; Rachel also ran 1970s TV MOVIES.
There’s probably going to be some discussion online about this one. On the $1600 clue in 2 OF THE 3 LETTERS ARE VOWELS, it is apparent to me that the judges, by the fact that they did not take points away from Rachel, ruled that Rachel did say “ail” on that clue and not “ill”, in spite of what the closed captioning may claim. Closed captioning is not done by the show’s judges or own post-production staff, it is a service done these days by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc. by a person who was not in studio at the time of taping, so occasional errors can creep in that way. Moreover, the judges have the ability to isolate each contestant’s audio specifically to determine precisely what was said, and that is a luxury that the home viewer does not have. I myself am perfectly satisfied by the judges’ decision, and I have spoken with others who also definitively heard “ail”.

What do you hear? Listen:- On the WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE $1600 clue, there was a lengthy stoppage while the judges deliberated on “needles” vs “thorns”, and they did end up ruling against Rachel on that one.
- All 4 of the Triple Stumpers were preceded by negs, so the “effective in first on buzzer” matches the stats above.
