I’d
like to give spoiler. This one is a very tight match.
ENTER
PLAYER INTRODUCTION!
- · Tom Landvatter, a professor from Valparaiso, Indiana
- · Kevin Ruby, a technical writer from San Diego, California
- · Brennan Bushee, an operations analyst from Malden, Massachusetts (whose 2-days cash winnings total $57,202)
Given the fact Brennan win rate is $ 27,500
every episode, if Brennan wins this one, Brennan is definitely going to be in
the TOC leader board. Whether Brennan will stay until the period is over is
another question.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION

“TMI”

Unlike
previous episode where how they pick the clue is literally the chaos theory
itself, this time how they pick the category is more –well – gentle.
We have
an interesting Daily Double! A late Daily Double with big lead, a huge one.

After
this Daily Double, the only remaining category is “TOO MUCH INFORMATION”. $
3,000 left on the table. Brennan wagered $ 3,000 , big, but not big enough by
this blog’s standard. Remember that in Jeopardy! round, the blog promotes ‘$5
or True Daily Double’ attitude in Jeopardy! Round. If you get it wrong, well you can still rebuild
your bank on Double Jeopardy! If you get it right, you can guarantee your win
early.
Clue: The address atf.gov would be atfe.gov if it accounted for this word

Raf:
What is explosive?
That’s
a correct answer.

The
‘rule of thumb’ is when you’re third place. is that you should not wager in a way
that makes your score below the elimination point at the end of Double
Jeopardy! (Please check our explanation on what is elimination point.) We
predicted Brennan final score is $ 20,900 and Kevin will be at $ 13,300. That’s
$ 7,600. If Tom wagered everything and get it wrong, he will drop below the
elimination point ($ 7,550). The correct attitude is to wager everything but $
50. We will not throw the ‘Clavin’ flag here because $ 3,550 wager and $ 3,600
wager is close enough, but we’d like to tell you that going True Daily Double
is wrong, he should go down a little bit.
Clue: A city in Pinellas County, Florida, or one about 7 degrees south of
the Arctic Circle
Tom:
What is St. Petersburg?
He got
it right and doubled his money.
It only
took two clue to find another Daily Double. This time, Brennan Bushee got it
behind “BETTER CALL SAUL” for $ 1,200

Kevin proj. score is 70%
of Brennan's proj. score Probability doesn't sum to 100% up due to rounding
|

Brennan
was already above Kevin’s score. When you’re first place, the rule of thumb is
‘never risk your first place’. Kevin’s score we projected will be $ 14,600, so
lock point will be around $ 29,200. Brennan will have to wager around $ 9,000,
but that’s Clavin. Brennan can try to mathematically eliminate Tom with $ 7,000
wager, but that still risk the first place. So Brennan maximum wager is around
$ 6,000, but $ 3,000 wager is still acceptable.
Clue: Avoid the topic of these foes now associated with the
unenlightened; his long struggle with them didn't end well for him
Brennan:
What is The Philistines?

Suddenly Brennan is not at

its lock game.
