It falls into the 80% of "non-dream, non-nightmare" categories for me, so I'd ignore the category wager purely according to the scores. And then be very pleased when I got it right.MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 2:30 pm How would you wager on a Final Jeopardy category this specific?

Re: Final Jeopardy! Clues
I wouldn't Clavin. But in Stratton's Dilemma, where I have to choose between winning on a TS or locking out third on a get, I'm locking out third. Any scenario where there's a range or set of savvy wagers, I going with the high wager. Would've paid off here.MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 2:30 pm How would you wager on a Final Jeopardy category this specific?

Re: Final Jeopardy! Clues
I would like to ask a question about Final Jeopardy! clues. Forgive me if this is the wrong place, but I want to ask this question; however, the discussion forum won't let me start a new topic yet.
I have been without television for a while; and, it's been a long time since I have watched Jeopardy (I use to watch regularly). Do Final Jeopardy clues ever consist of any of the following:
- pictures
- audio
- video
I am curious. Thank you.
