Correct response: What is Arbor Day?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Fun fact: Arbor Day is not celebrated on the same day in every state in the United States, corresponding to when it’s best to plant trees in each respective state. Florida’s and Louisiana’s is the third Friday in January. Alaska is the third Monday in May, and Maine picks the third full week in May. California’s is in March, and in the state where Arbor Day was created, Nebraska, it’s the last Friday in April. Texas even waits until November.
You can find state-by-state information at Arbor Day Foundation website.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 110 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.0734 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.4702).
An average of 5.5764 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.82).
An early cutoff took place 1.377% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Dave Scatena qualified 1.426% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 93.354% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 81.240% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 59.402% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 31.536% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 11.040% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 1.860% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Jonathan gets the $2,000 for second place by virtue of having $4,200 to Jeff’s $4,000 after the Jeopardy! round.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Dave 29.09% (16/55), Jonathan 40.00% (22/55), Jeff 29.82% (17/55).
