Missed Jeopardy today and found out Arthur Chu lost! I understand he lost big on the daily double. So all the complaints about his strategy of getting the daily doubles are nonsense. If you can't come up with the correct answer, then the strategy actually hurts you. I understand that a graduate student from Ann Arbor beat him. So Michigan may not win so much in football anymore but we dominate in ice dancing and jeopardy!
Chu said that the 12 games were taped over 3 days back in November. So stamina and consistency are almost as important as knowledge and quickness. It makes the absurd streak of, I think, 74 games by Ken Jennings so much more impressive!
