Correct response: What is Morocco?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
A conflict that began over the borders of the African Spanish city of Ceuta, Spain and Morocco were at war for a few months in 1859 and 1860. A treaty was quickly signed at the urging of the British following an early Spanish victory at Tetuán, with Morocco having to pay the equivalent of $4 million in 1861 US dollars (Britain aided in the repayment). The cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the north African coast still belong to Spain today.

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, $199.61 has been raised.)

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 113 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.921 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5011).
An average of 6.5302 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.828).
An early cutoff took place 4.782% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Lindsey Shultz qualified 94.141% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 83.192% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 63.115% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 33.229% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 11.285% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 1.554% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 0.000% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- It’s not often that I comment on an interview, but John Philip Sousa is my favourite composer, and I’m a little bit perturbed that Megan gave him as an example of a person that her dog might “pay his respects” to to.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Lindsey 53.06% (26/49), Megan 24.49% (12/49), Bren 22.45% (11/49)
