Empedocles? Hand to God, that is a gap in my knowledge base. That name rang no bells, shook any cobwebs, or brought up any (un)happy memories. At all.
Regarding the finale, I thought that the woman might have been Susan B. Anthony although she clearly wouldn’t have been considered a 3-named woman.
I was surprised the very last Jeopardy clue was a triple stumper under “False Advertising.” I guess none of the contestants watch Master Minds. Ken got the very same clue correct on Master Minds last year but his opponent got it incorrect in the Ultimate Trivia Challenge round. Perhaps that was why it was valued at $2,000. Ken, I’m assuming, helps write some of the Jeopardy clues and knew the difficulty level.
I agree with you and with what ken said. So far of all the mega champs ben Ingram, James Holzhauer and Amy so far with the most right fj responses,
Here’s a link to my charts on players who have won 10 or more games if you want to check anyone else out.
Ken’s statement that James Holzhauer is the only other contestant to miss only one of his Final Jeopardy! clues wasn’t right. James got FJ wrong in his 6th game.
So far, out of 15 games, Amy only missed the FJ! clue in her 5th game.
Before that, in regular play, Ben Ingram got ALL of his Final Jeopardy! clues right during his 9-game run. He missed one (the very last game) in his 4 ToC games, which would be 12 out of 13.
There are probably other players who had shorter runs than Ben who also got all their FJs right so Ken might want to qualify that statement to say players who won over x number of games
