Daily analysis, October 17 – thumbs up for our champion

Another video-free video! You’ll miss my face soon enough, I’m sure. (Oh, I suppose you can see it on Part Four of my wagering tutorial, which I just put up earlier today.)

Going into Final Jeopardy!, we have three 5-digit scores:

Stuart Anderson: 20,400
John Emery: 12,400
Korin Kormick: 11,200

Stuart’s in the driver’s seat here, needing to wager just 4,400 for a return ticket. If everyone misses, he wins. If everyone gets it right, he wins.
