Missed the first round. I did get 2/3 DDs but not Final. Lamely guessed Malta and Sicily for the 2nd DD.
Matt’s “Who Fibonacci” carried on his utter lack of decent grammar. He must have had enough time to insert “is” or “was.” Normally he begins every response with “What’s.”
The arachnid clue was a gimme. Asian city in Persia was too.
Juveria was a non-factor; I hope she rebounds and makes it a 3-way game.
Matt was again at his best, and emerged the champion. Well done Matt! As for Fibonacci, I never heard of the mathematician until today. Anyways, I went with Leonardo Da Vinci for FJ as I thought that the esteemed scientist and engineer was also a mathematician.
I missed Final too, but am familiar with the Fibonacci sequence, such as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144… in which the next number is the sum of the previous two.
Kudos to Roger for preventing a runaway with that last DD. I hope he wins tomorrow. Roger used to be the guy who always buzzed in first, whether he knew it or not. If he didn’t, he figured it out more times than not.
I’m not counting Juveria out either. I hope she has a better game tomorrow and wins Friday’s game.
I hope either Roger or Juveria wins tomorrow. At some point, Matt’s gonna have a bad day, and this “villain” will get defeated.
That means if Matt wins tomorrow, he will become the 2025 Jeopardy Invitational Tournament champion and he will return to the Jeopardy Masters in primetime this spring on ABC. Roger and Juveria needed to win a game tomorrow to prevent Matt from putting the tournament away.
Well, yeah, Kevin, I was gonna get around to that if he wins.
