Good morning! Today is Thursday, April 15, 2021 (Season 37, Game 144). In case you missed it, the field for the next Tournament of Champions was confirmed yesterday. I’m incredibly excited to see Buzzy Cohen host! That said, here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Physics):
Modern formulations of Newton’s 2 most famous equations both begin with this quantity that’s measured in Newtons
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Lindsay Wilcox, a teacher from Louisville, Kentucky
Mark Dorosin, a civil rights lawyer from Carrboro, North Carolina
Patrick Hume, a project manager originally from Stoneham, Massachusetts (1-day total: $24,401)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Patrick had a very strong game yesterday with a Coryat score north of $20,000; he’s got a better than average chance of defending. The carousel of champions has been spinning faster as of late, though — both Mark and Lindsay are sure to put up a good fight!
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is force?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Newton’s two most famous equations would certainly be the Second Law of Motion (force equals mass times acceleration) and his law of universal gravitation, also described in terms of force.
As someone who bought a new steering wheel base and rim for sim-racing recently, this was a very easy clue for me — the strength of force feedback wheels are measured in Newton-meters.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- One thing that I suggest that future contestants do in their preparations: on Daily Doubles, make a bet as though you’re in that contestant’s position. That way, when you get on the show, you’ve had some practice “under pressure”. Daily Double betting is an underrated art.
- To that end, remember that being “under the lights” can be a stressful experience for many; remember that it’s always better to be kind to people.
- Thus far, $219,726 has been raised for the North Valley Community Foundation.
