TFW the guy who beat you on Jeopardy is now in the top 20 regular-season Jeopardy winners of all time šŸ™ƒ šŸŽ‰
@jsnell Always best to lose to a winner!

@jsnell better that than someone who lost the following day!

Now for all we know, you’re the 21st greatest Jeopardy player of all time who just hasn’t had the opportunity to explore his potential!

@jsnell A Master went up against the a Grandmaster

@jsnell he's on a tear, considering how alot of his games are going you 2 put up a really good challenge.
@jsnell it’s like how when my team loses in baseball I immediately hope we lost to the World Series winning team
@jsnell you mentioned in the Incomperable episode that they remind you that 2/3 of the players lose. But when you include multi game winners, the % of players that never win is much higher. So far in the 95 games of S42 regular play (excluding tournaments), 81% of players never won, 10% won 1 game, then 9% of players have won the remaining 85 games. So it’s a real ā€œthe rich get richerā€ situation šŸ˜‚
@joelion you know very well I meant that two of the three players on any given day lose… you’re talking to someone who literally saw every single person in my tape day lose!
@jsnell funny to think that during Ken’s 74 game win streak, 99.3% of all players lost… he dispatched 148 players in a row. lol 😵
@jsnell Not just being nice, but I feel like you and Jordan gave him the best opposition thus far, too.
(Just me…or is Jamie not as masterful with the clicker as other past mega-champs? He does, as you say, know EVERY THING, but seems he gets beat to the buzzer relatively often. )
@coachmike66 I had the best buzz-in percentage in our game, so from my perspective the buzzer is not where he kills it. It's his breadth of knowledge.

@jsnell I was in the Jeopardy audience only once, to see my cousin play. She finished second to a guy named Ken Jennings. He seemed to be fairly good at the game. :)

Years later I had Ken speak at a company event. A nicer guy you’d never meet, and he remembered my cousin. Even remembered the trivia question about whether or not Harmon Killebrew is the batter in the MLB logo.
