Mike In Illinois Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Bites it today. Blows it on Final Jeopardy question; doesn't lose all his money, but enough. Some chick named Nancy beats him by a few thousand dollars. Hope this isn't a day or two off from when you see it.
Dan Gross Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 she beats him by $1 139919[/snapback] No she doesn't. She bets enough to exceed his "Double Jeopardy" total (total going into Final Jeopardy) by $1. He gambled money, which means that she actually ended up beating him by a few thousand.
flomoe Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 The answer was: This fortune 500 company's 70,000 white collar employees work only 4 months a year, or something like that. He guessed Fed Ex and the chick said........ and got it right.

Got to get up pretty early to be first around here.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Total fix. No way is Jennings that dumb to ignore the "4 months" and "white collar" clues. I figured Jeopardy would say it's time to pull the plug, since people were getting sick of KJ.

I'm sure there are bunches of rumors flying around about all of it but I heard on one of the shows somewhere that he just didn't want to continue any longer. The answer was too easy for him to miss by not thinking so I think he just said enoughs enough and took his 2.5 mil and ran.

PastaJoe Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I assume he'll be back the next time they have a Tournament of Champions. I wonder how much of his winnings he'll be giving to the Mormons. "Alex, I'd like another 5 wives for $2000".

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 This was covered yesterday. Got to get up pretty early to be first around here. 139949[/snapback] Exactly... The audio link was also posted... I was hunting for the thread, I guess you beat me to it, early bird! I is all ABOUT YOU Darin... Isn't it?
Alaska Darin Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I is all ABOUT YOU Darin... Isn't it? 139977[/snapback] You are? Sad.

He guessed Fed Ex and the chick said........ and got it right. 139943[/snapback] If the answer didn't have Fortune 500 company in it, I would have guessed the US Govt. On second thought, 4 months is probably stretching it...
SDS Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 You seem smart Scott, but you're no Ken Jennings. 140008[/snapback] I went and listened to the answer, but I thought I read yesterday that my guess was incorrect. Apparently, I'm right.
