Finals: Elkana-Hale/Farrell/Giles - Part 2
February 13

Last week, 15 of America's best and brightest teachers came to Culver City to compete for $100,000 and a guaranteed slot in the next Tournament of Champions. Then, only nine remained - the five winners of last week's games and the four highest-scorers among non-winners. Now there are only three - game winners Adam Elkana-Hale & Jennifer Giles and wild card Cathy Farrell. In 24.5 hours, one of them will be $100,000 richer with a shot at another $250,000 in the next Tournament of Champions later on down the line.

The runner up gets $50,000, while the second runner-up is guaranteed $25,000.

Right now, Adam has a ways to go to catch up to the two ladies? Can he do it? Or will one of them lock it up?

Daily Double #1: $1600 Science-y Stuff. Cathy has $3000 to $5600 for Adam. Jennifer is still on $5200. Cathy GOES FOR IT AGAIN! on this: constructed around 1500 by a German explorer, the "erdapfel", or "earth apple", is the world's oldest one of these. "What is a globe?" DOUBLER AGAIN! She's up to $6000!

Daily Double #2: $800 North By Northwest. Jennifer rallies to $12,800 to Cathy's $10,400 and Adam's $6000. She makes it $2000 to go on this: of Central Park: this university founded in 1754. "What is NYU?" No, it was Columbia, leaving her with $10,800. In the lead, but JUST.

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

$10,400	$9,600	$14,400
Adam	Cathy	Jennifer

Adam could double to end up with $23,400. If Cathy bets nothing, she'll end up with $28,200. If Jennifer bets nothing, she'll have $36,800. She can bet less than $8600 and still win in this case.

But if Cathy goes for the double and nails it, she'll have $19,200, a total of $37,800. So for Jennifer, the magic number is $1001.

Final Jeopardy! category: HISTORIC NAMES ON THE MAP

NOTHING IS KNOWN OF HIS EARLY LIFE IN ENGLAND BEFORE 1600 OR OF THE END OF HIS LIFE IN NORTH AMERICA AFTER JUNE 22, 1611

Correct response: who was Henry Hudson?

Cathy's response: who was Rolf? WRONG. Wager: $9600. Total: $0.
Adam's response: who was Roanoke? WRONG. Wager: $10,000. Total: $400.
Jennifer's response: who is Raleigh? WRONG. Wager: $8000. Total: $6400

A fortnight of surprises ends with one more.
