Correct response: What is Havana?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
In the 1950s, Cuba was a huge spot for American tourism and the hotel industry was booming there. The 30-story hotel, called the Habana Hilton, opened in March 1958 and had the slogan “Latin America’s tallest, largest hotel”. Eight months after its opening, Castro’s rebel forces took the city in the Cuban revolution. Castro turned the hotel into his headquarters at the time, as it was seen to be the most prominent symbol of American influence in the country. In 1960 the state took over operation of the hotel, referring to it as the Habana Libre.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 153 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 4.2496 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.7265).
An average of 7.7054 4+-time champions (standard deviation 2.1385).
An early cutoff took place 22.805% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Jessica Holloway qualified 4.243% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 50.174% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 23.552% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 9.052% of the time.
Jackie Fuchs qualified 1.517% of the time.
Mary Ann Borer qualified 0.166% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
Zorn seemed to have a lot of “foul tip” misses over his run. “Close enough” often doesn’t work on Jeopardy!
- $7,400 USD = about 9,824.46 CAD.
- This isn’t the first time Alex has had to remind a contestant to give two responses in a category like ADD A LETTER. On that front, I’d say that he’s fair in the respect that he does it for everybody.
