Well that first daily double didn’t work out for Cody but Brutus isn’t actually a philosopher. Overall, how did John miss out on a simple physics clue? He should have been careful not to add any extra consonants to a person’s name unless.it is needed. Hopefully Kristen can build up on her win.

As for Brutus, Final Jeopardy’s clue says nothing about the person being a philosopher. The only thing obvious there is that the person was a criminal (“got to propose his own sentence”), and Cody flailed and went with the most famous Ancient-era criminal he could think of, so Brutus.
