Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Fictional Characters) for Tuesday, June 4, 2024 (Season 40, Game 192):

This character in a series of popular books begun in 1934 promises, “I’ll stay till the wind changes”

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Travis Kissire, a deputy public works director from Boise, Idaho

Travis Kissire on Jeopardy!

Christina Paul, a foreign service officer from Davie, Florida

Christina Paul on Jeopardy!

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (4-day total: $91,800)

Adriana Harmeyer on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Much like I said with Amar Kakirde last Tuesday, our current 4-day champion Adriana Harmeyer looks to become the 277th 5-time champion on Jeopardy. The prediction model gives her about a 55% chance of winning today over challengers Christina Paul (Davie, FL) and Travis Kissire (Boise, ID). I had a slight internal debate this morning as to whether or not “foreign service” should be capitalized here at The Jeopardy! Fan; after discovering that Britannica has an article about the term generally—meaning, it does not appear to be a position relating specifically to the United States Foreign Service—I do not believe it should be.

I have an occasional mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!

Correct response: Who is Mary Poppins?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

While most people associate Mary Poppins with being the title character of the smash hit Disney film of the 1960s, she originated as the title character of a series of P.L. Travers children’s books; in all, eight were published between 1934 and 1988.

Interestingly, the 2013 film Saving Mr. Banks paints a bit of revisionist history over the enmity between Travers and Disney; Travers was not a fan of the Disney film, to the extent that her last will bans any American adaptation of the Mary Poppins story in any form of media.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, June 4, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Tree-Via; Common Bonds; Other Good Books; 21st Century Sports; Eurofood; What “Iz” It?)

While Adriana got off to the best start, picking up 8 correct, it was Christina who found the Daily Double on her own first clue selection. Unfortunately, an incorrect response dropped her back to $0. At the break, Adriana had $4,000 to Travis’s $2,600 and Christina’s $600.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Adriana 8 correct 0 incorrect
Travis 3 correct 0 incorrect
Christina 3 correct 1 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Travis has an owl box in his backyard.
Christina couldn’t make it to her brother’s wedding due to a volcanic eruption.
Adriana has great handwriting, and can also decode others’ bad handwriting.

Adriana had a good second half of the round as well to extend her lead, in spite of a $1,000 incorrect response on the last clue of the round.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Adriana 14 correct 1 incorrect
Travis 5 correct 1 incorrect
Christina 4 correct 2 incorrect

Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: June 4 Ever More; Idioms & Expressions; Modern Potpourri; Feeling A Little Art “C”; Any Port; In A Storm)

Travis had a good start to the round, but his momentum was halted by a Daily Double miss—and he wasn’t heard at all over the final 18 clues. Amazingly, Adriana was the only player with a correct response over the final 15 clues (she had 8 of them) as she cruised to a runaway going into Final.

Adriana 27 correct 2 incorrect
Travis 10 correct 2 incorrect
Christina 6 correct 3 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 18 (0 today).

Travis $4,800
Christina $2,400

Adriana and Travis were correct in Final; Adriana is now a 5-day champion!

Tonight’s results:

Christina $2,400 – $2,400 = $0 (Who is The Wiza Winnie the Pooh)
Travis $4,800 + $4,799 = $9,599 (Who is Mary Poppins?)
Adriana $17,400 + $7,000 = $24,400 (Who is Mary Poppins Poppins?) (5-day total: $116,200)

(Scores: Adriana $17,400 Travis $4,800 Christina $2,400)

Adriana: Bet no more than $7,800. (Actual bet: $7,000)

Christina: I’d go all in here, just in case Travis makes a bet and is incorrect. (Actual bet: $2,400)

Travis: Due to the fact that you have more money going into Final Jeopardy than Christina does, you’re guaranteed second place if you bet $0. (Actual bet: $4,799)
