Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Siblings) for November 15-16, 2025 (Season 41, Game 155):

They used some of their $65 million settlement to stockpile bitcoin & in 2014 they founded their own cryptocurrency exchange

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Stephanie Rozman, a publications manager & editor from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Michael DiSciullo, a real estate agent from Austin, Texas

Andrew Hayes, a law student originally from Tupelo, Mississippi (2-day total: $45,401)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Our weekend rerun for this week continues our trek through the Period of Four ToCers from back in April, as we see the April 11 game between 2-day champion Andrew Hayes, Michael DiSciullo, and Stephanie Rozman.

It’s interesting to see a game such as this one in the overall context of the rest of the season, though, now that the postseason cutoff has passed. On its surface, scores of $13,400 and $12,900—especially against someone headed to the Tournament of Champions like Andrew—would have felt like near-locks for Second Chance. But there have been so many other games that have seen even more deserving performances that I think it’s likelier than not that players like Michael and Stephanie get overshadowed. Though it absolutely would not surprise me if Stephanie’s mistakes in Double Jeopardy—that I’ll get to in greater detail in the recap section of this post–ends up costing her what otherwise would have been a Second Chance invite.

Speaking of the postseason, my current plans are to post a Tournament of Champions preview once the postseason field is officially confirmed by Jeopardy! itself, which I presume will happen at some point on Monday.

Correct response: Who are Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss (the Winklevoss twins)?

Having claimed that Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook (now Meta), had stolen their idea for that website, twins Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss (who had an idea for a site called “ConnectU”) eventually settled the lawsuit and invested in bitcoin. When cryptocurrency took off, the twins founded an exchange known as Gemini (because, of course, twins) and are still among the largest holders of bitcoin, despite Gemini running into some regulatory issues over the years.

Game Recap:

Stephanie looked to have an extremely good chance of unseating Andrew in this one, especially after she found DD2 while holding onto a lead. Unfortunately for her win chances, she bet $1,500 on a $1,600-level Daily Double in a category where she had just gotten the $2,000 clue correct,and then, after the inevitable correct response, seemingly liked the category enough to pick the $1,200 clues, surrendered control of the board to Andrew. While it took another 10 clues for Andrew to find DD3, his all-in bet ensured he held the lead entering Final Jeopardy. From there, a triple-get Final ensured we’d be seeing Andrew again both in regular and postseason play. Meanwhile, Michael played well enough over the rest of Double Jeopardy to relegate Stephanie to a third-place finish.

Scores going into Final:

Andrew $21,600
Michael $13,400
Stephanie $12,900

Tonight’s results:

Stephanie $12,900 + $12,300 = $25,200 (Who are the Winkelvosses?)
Michael $13,400 + $13,397 = $26,797 (Who are the Winklevoss Twins?)
Andrew $21,600 + $5,201 = $26,801 (Who are the Winklevoss Twins?) (3-day total: $72,202)

Game Stats:

Andrew $15,600 Coryat, 22 correct, 1 incorrect, 33.33% in first on buzzer (19/57), 2/2 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
