Jeopardy! By the Numbers
Jeopardy! appears to be about trivia; apply some math, however, and you’ll reveal the secrets underlying the game.
In By the Numbers, I use statistics to reveal the show’s hidden patterns. Some are mundane; others, fascinating.
Everything you see here would be impossible without J! Archive. A very special thanks to founder Robert K S and all of the volunteer archivists for the countless hours they’ve spent on that project, and for providing me with data.
