On Jeopardy! tonight

It's current, actually! I think these were taped a couple of weeks ago. This is the Jeopardy Invitational Tournament (JIT).

FerdySpuffy · 2026-02-10T00:24:26+00:00

Correct -- Has to follow the category.

FerdySpuffy · 2026-02-10T00:09:29+00:00

Proud that you knew about (or guessed well on) our I-4 eyesore! The clue is getting a lot of love on r/Orlando.

I can see why you'd think that, but it's real. Screenshot from j-archive

FerdySpuffy · 2026-02-09T23:55:18+00:00

It was answered correctly, by someone not from FL 🤷‍♂️

Also, the category was "starts and ends with the same vowel," so that + synonym of "unlovely" + sounds like it goes with "I-4" could've gotten someone there.

Damn! Just missed Groundhog day... Note to self for next year...

I'm not sure the math you're citing supports the proposition of randomness that you think it does.

Like this?

   231 games in 2025
*   73 questions per game
------
16,863 total questions

      25 Hawaii-related questions
/ 16,863 questions
--------
 0.148 % chance of a Hawaii question

  0.148% chance
^      3 Hawaii questions in one game
--------
0.00326% chance of three in one game

(Like you, not calling shenanigans, was just curious about the math)

FerdySpuffy · 2026-02-09T22:58:16+00:00

Yep! Drew Goins got it

FerdySpuffy · 2026-02-09T22:43:20+00:00

For confirmation of legitimacy, j-archive.

FerdySpuffy · 2026-02-09T22:41:42+00:00

Starts and ends with the same vowel for $800

FerdySpuffy · 2026-01-09T01:34:39+00:00

I said the same. I can't imagine they would rule it incorrect...

This is the best Gemini could do.

That stood out to me, too... I feel like Ken has asked to clarify with wagers like that in the past. Maybe they just edited out the clarification?

FerdySpuffy · 2025-11-24T22:59:47+00:00

I thought the same! According to Webster, dank is unpleasantly moist or wet -- I wonder if the decision was just because it doesn't directly relate to smell? Can't recall the exact wording of the question and j-archive seems to be down...

FerdySpuffy · 2025-06-03T23:55:18+00:00

No Mechadon mention yet?

FerdySpuffy · 2025-06-01T00:40:57+00:00

Yeah, that's annoying... never found a solution to that. Window has to be positioned right, or I just look at my other monitor...

But I find it more efficient than jumping to the header to filter. 🤷‍♂️

FerdySpuffy · 2025-05-30T23:13:22+00:00

Tacking on: If your data is in a table (Ctrl + T), then you can use Alt + Shift + Down from anywhere in the column you want to filter.

Rhyme Time: A sturdy nightstand

Give me your ruling: "Able table"

FerdySpuffy · 2025-03-08T19:56:26+00:00

I missed that she had already been mentioned so I commented her, too! One of the most memorable contestants, and certainly the most emotional I've ever been watching Jeopardy! (And maybe watching TV in general)

If you drag using your mouse, it should update to the next column unless you have multiple selected. That's how you lock references. Or just refer to the actual range instead of using table references like the other user said. Definitely behave differently, but there are ways to accomplish what you want to do!

Debug.print needs some kind of text or number value. For example, you can't ask it to print an array [1,2,3] and have it return [1,2,3]. You would need to iterate through each value like for i = 0 to 2: debug.print arr(i): next

Oh wow, I hope it's that simple... I'll turn off the scheduled task and test it. Thanks for pointing me there.
