Our returning champ was impressive on day one. Will he be one to watch?
He might be – but he needs to get out of this game first. Here are our scores heading into Final:
Matthew LaMagna: 16,600
Amy Thon: 5,600
Sam Heft-Luthy: 8,600
The Final Jeopardy! category: TONY NOMINATIONS
The scores have been kind to my brain this week.
Basic strategy – first vs. second
Matthew should wager 600 to cover Sam.
Sam needs to get it right, so he might as well wager everything – but at least 7,400.
Amy is out of contention for the victory.
Basic strategy – second vs. third
Assuming Sam will wager at least 7,400, Amy can wager up to 4,399.
What actually happened
If you need to be right to win, wager everything! We’ll see if Matthew plays for the tie again on Monday.
