Correct response: Who is Salvador Dalí?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Well-known Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí is best known for 1931’s The Persistence of Memory (with a number of melting clocks in the foreground). Of course, his first name, “Salvador”, comes from the Spanish for “Savior”.
I always hear from viewers who feel as though Jeopardy! shouldn’t run Final Jeopardy! clues such as this one, as the viewer feels as though the subject matter is too simple for the round. I wholeheartedly disagree, for a couple of reasons: First of all, it is very easy to overthink a clue such as this one; secondly, if every single Final Jeopardy! clue were difficult, it would have an adverse effect on strategy—contestants would start choosing less aggressive strategies and the game would be less exciting (this, thus, keeps the players honest).
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, nearly $500 has been raised.)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Paul seemed to want no part of the lead going into Final Jeopardy!, between his only betting $3,000 on the Daily Double and then selecting the $400 Tonys clue; did he miss Alex saying “less than a minute”?
- In “close” games (where second place is within 75% of the leader) since dollar values doubled in 2001, the leader going into Final wins 55% of the time, second place wins 33% of the time, and third place wins 12% of the time.
- Remember, when it comes to reversals from the judges, to go from incorrect to correct, the value of the clue or wager is doubled (going from -2400 to +2400 is a difference of 4800).
