Daily analysis, Tuesday, March 18

No violence tonight, thankfully. But does that mean our wagers were good?

Don’t let the scores fool you – Nora was a good player, but her True Daily Double didn’t work out. It’s just the two gentlemen in Final.

Gordon Graham: 10,200
Nick Durazo: 16,800
Nora Morrison: -2,000

The Final Jeopardy! category: BRITISH AUTHORS

Very straightforward here, as with most two-player scenarios.

Nick should wager 3,600 to top Gordon.

Gordon should wager everything, since he has to get it right to have a chance.

This is the GOOD type of green – not that of the Incredible Hulk on St. Patrick’s Day.
