Quoted from Pedleboy:He is impressive but Ken's 74 day is much, much harder than pressing the money. We've had this conversation many times in my office. I watch Jeopardy, on average, 4 days a week and it's funny to talk to people who just watch guys like James play. They think that he is some super human that has developed this whole strategy. The reality is that all 3 players know the answer to 75 to 80 percent of the questions. Jeopardy is all about clicker control. James is very good at it as was Ken.
D.
This is the answer. My wife and I watch about as much as you. On a normal night between the two of us we typically know about half the answers but we don't have to ring in or deal the with pressure of BEING ON JEOPARDY.
The questions aren't that hard once you get used to all the littles clues they add.
A good example is last night Mary looked like she had the clicker down on the first couple answers but quickly lost it and James did his thing.
Another thing is contestants usually have a year or more wait time from being picked to being filmed. With James being a "professional sports gambler" he probably had plenty of free time to study and practice during that time. I don't see him losing for a while.
