Preliminaries: Cuffman/Farrell/Jones
February 3
The newest in Jeopardy!'s line of grand challenges is coming around again, with fifteen of America's greatest teachers being honored by coming to play the great American quiz show of record. At stake, $100,000 and a shot at $250,000 later on in the next Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions.

What challenges await these educators? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000, while everyone who competes gets $5000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings.

Colin O'Grady is through to next week's semis. Who will join him today?

Daily Double #1: $1200 Quotable Plays. Cathy has $6200 to $8200 for Lydia. She goes for $3000 on this: "Alan's always been such a gentle boy. He loves animals! Especially horses." "What is 'A Raisin in the Sun'?" No, it was "Equus", leaving her with $3200.

Daily Double #2: $1600 A Long Time Ago in Canada. After a line ruling in Michael's favor ($7200), Cathy has $11,600 to Lydia's $15,400. She bets $3000 again on this: in 1610 Etienne Brule went to live with these people & became the first European to see the Great Lake named for them. "What is Huron?" RIGHT for $14,600!

Final Jeopardy! category: MATH TERMS

 

THIS WORD FOR A PROCESS THAT LEADS TO THE SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM COMES FROM THE ARABIC NAME OF A 9th CENTURY MATHEMATICIAN

 

Correct response: what is algorithm?

Michael's response: what is equation? WRONG. Wager: $9200. Total: $0.
Cathy's response: what is algebra? WRONG. Wager: $10,000. Total: $4600.
Lydia's response: what is a proof? WRONG. Wager: $2000. Total: $13,400.

Semifinalist: Lydia Cuffman

Lydia was hard to catch all day, and if she plays as well as she did today, then there may be a $100,000 check in her future. A big ask, though.

Next up, our next three. Stay tuned...
