In a rare moment of clarity, I got the one element answer that he didn't know. Plutonium. Watching him is kind of like watching a magician at work. It's all a mystery to me how he can store so much information and, at the same time, be able to so easily and quickly access it. It's like his memory isn't human, but more like that of a computer. He amazes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In just two days, he has already won $82,606. It is hard to predict what will happen on Jeopardy due to all the variables, but this guy knows a ridiculous amount of trivia, doesn't answer incorrectly and seems unflappable under pressure.

Road Runner Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share #67 Posted June 2, 2019 James needs a little less than 60K on Monday's game to surpass Jennings and become the top all-time, regular play, winnings champion.

Ralphie ★ Posted June 4, 2019 Share #83 Posted June 4, 2019 With didn’t they both bet everything? I never understood that. 2nd and 3rd prizes are basically negligible, so I say go for the gusto! Although I could see Emma stopping a couple thousand short of everything in case James bet most or all of his and missed. Oh wait, I just noticed that she did bet just enough to beat him if he had missed it. She is good! Interesting, the lady who beat Ken Jennings went on to loose in the next round. And Jay acted like a third party candidate, popping in to steal enough answers from them both to help affect the results. Before, many times there was no competition from the third person, or sometimes from neither the second and third persons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood that. 2nd and 3rd prizes are basically negligible, so I say go for the gusto! Although I could see Emma stopping a couple thousand short of everything in case James bet most or all of his and missed. Both James and Emma made excellent bets. Here's why: Emma is in the lead going into Final and can't lose if she bets right and gets the Final question correct. Emma bet just enough (20,201) to win if she got the answer right, even if James doubled his money in Final. If she missed it, she might have enough left to come in second (2K verus 1K is significant if you only play once). The leader going into Final always wins if they bet enough to beat the person in second. Emma did exactly what she needed to do. James knew Emma was smart and he had to assume she would bet enough to win if she got the Final question correct. He knew his only hope was that she would miss Final and he could win by default. But in the rare possibility that he, too, might miss Final, he bet small. He knew that if Emma got Final wrong, he would likely win, but if he had bet big like he usually does and missed, he could have still lost to Jay, who could have doubled his money and ended up with 22,000. Even if James had missed Final, his bet of 1,399 assured that he would end up with more than Jay at 22,001. So James made the perfect bet under the circumstances, if he wanted to maximize his chances of winning and remain the champ (more important than the money). James bet enough to win if Emma got Final wrong but not so much such that he could lose to Jay if he, too, had missed the Final question. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
