Weird question: Did anyone else have teachers who would make their own “Jeopardy” to help study with tests?
Yep
Yes.
Yeah a few of my teachers in high school did that
Yes.
Yea, but it never worked right
I can’t tell if this belongs on Game Theory or Film Theory. It’s a game that is filmed
Underrated coment
¿Por qué no los dos?
The answer is yes
He uploads to both xD
Well it was a tv show
While his strategy is clever, it's not really that complicated. At the end of the day this strategy only works if you are more knowledgeable than your opponent. His breadth and depth of knowledge is really what is impressive to me.
I mean, its just logic. Knowledge = more money. Betting on the big bucks and stuff, switching categories, and all of his tactic would mean absolutely nothing if he didnt spend a year learning trivial stuff.u can have and use all tactic u want, but if u aren't doing good with that trivial stuff, you'll just lose the game.
Not just more knowledgeable, but also a fast technique for the buzzer.
Yeah, even just about three years later, you can already see that others are using his strategies, starting at the bottom and jumping between catigories.
I used his strategy for a jeopardy review game in science class, though I modified it so that I start at 600/800 and only go for 800/1000 that early in the game if I'm really that confident with the topic
I feel like everyone caught on to what I was doing and was trying to emulate it themselves so it was basically fair game all around lol
He would've went on an undefeated streak for years if he wanted to, that's how good James was at Jeopardy.
Rest In Peace, Alex.
🧍Have I seen you before???

James plays real Jeopardy like the rest of us played History Jeopardy in 8th grade
Exactly what I was thinking lmao

You're not wrong.

LMAO yES
How did James win so much in Jeopardy?
Psychological Warfare.
Also read the Michael Larson playbook of preparing beforehand.
And a bit of chemical warfare...
Right!
He read sun tsu's the art of jeopardy
I understand this
"Hey, Brad's score is still on there!" Is the best thing to come out of jeopardy. This guy is a legend
If you haven't seen it you have to its so good
Omg that was such great moment! So funny XD
Watching that video is the reason this one landed on my recommended feed 3 years later 😂
I found it strange how you mentioned his year-long, in-depth preparation routine prior to being on Jeopardy, and even his buzzer accuracy, but not how he trained for the buzzer. He has stated that he studied from a book written by a former Jeopardy contestant called “The Art of The Buzzer,” or something like that. What he learned from it was how to anticipate Alex’s speech pattern/ cadence at the end of a question reading to know exactly when to buzz in. He was also very careful to remain still and quick and not lose time by being over-animated or harsh when pressing the button.
You’re also not considering his intentional hunting for daily doubles. He specifically chose questions that were statistically most likely to be Daily Doubles
Way to spoil pt 2 of this video... azzhole
Man he has no way of knowing what next vid will be so why insult someone who has no idea if what he’s saying is a spoiler and nither do you
It's an extremely well known bit of his tactic. It'll very likely be in the next part. But either way, telling someone they are "not considering" something when you know there is more to come is kinda rude.
@huhhman But some combinations of category and number have statistically a higher chance of beeing a daily double, idiot
@@joaobispo2602 which ones?
I like how this isn't even focusing on the most impressive aspect: his near encyclopedic knowledge of all things. Even if I cheated and used the internet I couldn't answer most of these questions correctly
It's highly likely he still has a very strong memory.
So I originally started this post with the sentence "The interesting thing is you don't need an encyclopedic knowledge of all topics for jeopardy." I read the phrase in your post metaphorically as it was probably meant - an in-depth repository of knowledge of an impossibly large number of things all in one place. Except now after writing the whole explanation as to why that's not necessary, it's now hit me that 'encyclopedic knowledge' is EXACTLY what you need for jeopardy, because encyclopedias actually don't go into a ton of detail. They are good sources for a wide amount of knowledge but don't really get super deep - and that's exactly what you want to be a jeopardy champion.
I read a bit about it back when Ken Jennings was the god-tier jeopardy player people were discussing, but it turns out an in-depth knowledge of the topics would actually be detrimental. See since jeopardy is ultimately about getting ratings and keeping people watching they want to make the audience feel smart (but not too smart). Notice how when you're sitting watching a game of jeopardy you can usually answer two or three questions on the board? That's by design - they want EVERYONE to have that experience. From all walks of life. at least some of the time. The questions are thus tailored to what 'the average person might know' about that topic - since there's so many topics most people won't know most questions, but since the answers don't require super in-depth knowledge most people will know at least one of the questions. Jennings actually created an algorithm to quiz himself this way as preparation, to cover what 'average people know' about every topic under the sun. This is also hinted at in this video when MatPat mentiond James Holzhauer's method was studying childrens books. That is an AMAZING method of cutting through the nonsense extra technical knowledge to get only at stuff that might actually be quizzed on the show - no one is going to bore a child with the extra stuff, it'll be distilled to simple facts that everyone can understand. The exact kind of facts that'll be asked about on Jeopardy.
TLDR: Jeopardy's not very deep. Focusing on casting your net of knowledge wide but shallow is the best way to become a god tier jeopardy player
@@GiftedContractor You absolutely hit the nail on the head. I do scholars bowl/quiz bowl at my high school (which is basically jeopardy but in a team of 4) and the parents marvel at how much everyone on these kinds of teams knows. But it's actually really easy if you cast your net wide, know the "bullet points"/"buzzwords" of topics, and systematically repeat things to get them in your head.
Re: Daily Doubles. There seems to be a difficult time separating the dollars of the show from the dollars of real life. The score a player has is not a dollar amount. It is a total of points with a dollar sign in front of it. Why is this? Because you ONLY get that money if you win, meaning that the goal is to win the game, not preserve or maximize one's dollar total. James was very good at understanding that, that money on his podium is not real until the game is over.
I think the going quickly and using abbreviations was more about making sure the time clock didn't run out before all of the clues were revealed than it was about trying to overrun his opponents. he would also sometimes cut off Trebek when he was quipping about something in between the clues to make sure to get to the next one as fast as possible.
Hey MatPat another reason James was so good was the way he hit the buzzer. Most players would spam the button before you were able to ring it, which would give a small penalty making the buzzer inactive for like half a second. James however, would time it up just right so as soon as you were able to hit the buzzer, he hit it, making him be the one to answer the questions.
Kind of like that thing at the start of Mario Kart races where you gotta hit the gas at _just the right moment_ when the 2 shows up to get the boost.
@@hannibustoogfyrre6074 If I could only count how many times I was close to turning off the game from rage when I was younger.😂😂😂
Actually its a quarter second
He was probably practicing at home with a pen and a timer
James is a badass.
Jeopardy: If you win this whole season you win $100,000!
James: Wins $100,000 + in one round!
Another important aspect you might have looked over when it comes to speed is that I think James wanted to be sure that every question was answered. Jeopardy has strict time limits and even if the contestants don't get through every question or category, they automatically move onto a commercial break, then Double Jeopardy. I've seen nearly entire categories go untouched because of this.
Though, with James playing there's low likelihood that he's not going to know the answer and he's probably not concerned if there's a $200 question left. It could still be something he kept in mind.
Other contestants: *steps up to stage*
James: so...you have chosen death
Miles Lambert except for Emma boettcher
Hahahahaha wow good one
Good point...😂
No! I meant cake!
CAKE! I MEANT CAKE!

Let's be honest, he played like we would play when we played Jeopardy in school.

@@drakox9603 Where did *THAT* come from?
Basically, James was a custom character with all his stats at 100%
Or all his points went into his intelligence and luck stats.
In an RNG based game. Where the undefeated God of the world still has a 0.00000000001% chance of losing to the weakest piece of garbage. Considering he still lost his most recent game.
James was actually that OP OC character in that Naruto fanfic you know you read a few years ago on Wattpad (This is a joke)

@@TobyGreenough As coolbond2 said, he holds one arm with the other to hold it still. If you watch other players, you'll see their hand moving in a sort of upwards motion before they push the button, this adds a delay to the press.

@@Coolbond2 I've seen several players do this before. I always wondered if it was strategic or preference.

The real theory should be: how does someone earn one million dollars off of reading children’s books?
Its actually much easier to learn from children's books as the information in them is written to be interesting, rather than reading an informational book on the same topic written for adults.
In children's books they tend to explain things in ways that are both memorable and informative. Like in a book for adults, it would explain the phases of the moon in long overly complicated sentences that are hard to remember and comprehend. Meanwhile in a children's book it would cut to the chase and just tell you what and how it happens in much less words and still make it memorable with pictures or fun descriptions.
Lets think of it like this, are you going to remember a wall of text over-explaining how to tackle someone or would you remember a picture and simplified words better? Books for adults tend to over-explain the smallest of details and constantly leave you wanting instead of flat out saying what they mean. In other words, they use superfluous vocabulary that is inconsequential and does not pertain to the actual situation or subject at hand whatsoever. (They use pointless big words that are pretty much useless and doesn't actually help anyone.)

There was this test done quite awhile ago done on a dog where they electrified the floor in front of the exit of a kennel and they told the dog to exit the kennel, but every time it did it would be shocked. So they did that a bunch of times and eventually the dog gave up. Then they switched and had the rest of the floor in the kennel electrified and the dog didn't do anything because it knew that if it tried to leave it would get shocked so it just stayed in the kennel taking the shocks

@@FakeMoonRocks lol
I feel you
Everyone: i knew
Back in 2012, I was a contestant. And I had the exact same strategy planned. But then the show started and it all became real very quickly, once I got control of the board, I ended up picking questions based upon the category more than the dollar value. I was up against a younger champion who was very good and very fadt on the button. I almost beat her in Final Jeopardy.
Unless you have been there, you have no idea what the experience is like. The reason why a typical champion only lasts a few episodes is that it is exhausing, physically, mentslly and emotionally. Five shows are taped each day. The set is incredibly hot. Your brain is going 1000 miles an hour, nothing exists except the game. Every contestant gets a picture with Alex Trebek. It happens during a commercial break. One of the assistant producers had to tap me on the shoulder to tell me that Alex was standing right next to me for our photo, I was so involved, I didn’t see him.
Every once in a while, someone with icewater in their veins becomes a contestant and goes on a run. They are not, necessarily, more knowledgeable, they just have a sort of detatchment that allows them to remain completely cool and get over the hump to the place where their experience becomes a formidable advantages over the challengers who are, basically, thrown into the deep end to either sink or swim.
Is the show “rigged”. No, it is not, in my opinion. There are strict rules, the contestants have a lawyer who represents them, and the staff went put of their way to make us all comfortable and, in my opinion, showed no favoritism to anyone.
Robert Chavez - I came in second. I “won” $2000. But since contestants have to pay their own expenses, I look at it this way: I won a vacation in LA and Las Vegas (where we went after the taping). Not a bad deal at all.

NBC doesn't own Jeopardy. I think it's a Sony production and CBS owns the rights to air it. But it might air on different networks depending on local affiliate deals.
Interesting... never knew that
I've watched jeopardy for about the past 20ish years (with my grandma, haha). I'm now in my forties. I don't belong to any online fan groups or anything though. I will say that you can definitely tell when jeopardy is manipulating the game once someone has been on for awhile. It's not just Ken and James. Sometimes it seems like they make it really easy, like the first games of the college tournament, and then sometimes it's just impossible.
(I'm also pretty sure categories are chosen based on statistical information about the player, though I doubt that would be provable because it's probably illegal.)

They just started airing a version of Jeopardy here in the UK, and I am loving every second of it. So much so that I’m actually looking up when ITV are gonna start taking applications for the next series.
I can really see why this show is so popular in the US.
Now this is surprising. As someone who watched James dominate Jeopardy and was shocked when he lost, I'm pretty interested in that second part.
Shawn Heatherly I’m inclined to think it’s just clickbait and he’ll actually talk about the infamous case of 20 questions, a 1950s game show that did rig its games and how rigging games now a days is pretty hard to pull off.
Honestly, I feel like James probably just felt that he'd done enough. That's my bet on what MatPat's conclusion will be
@@dragonkyng you never know, it was on a well known tv channel, they have plenty of money, and could of told the usurper the anwsers
Matpat: *Calls it Theorist Friday instead of Theorist Thursday*
Me: *I’m not angry, just disappointed*
Any chance your a mother?
Depends on your timezone, really. It's currently Friday evening here in New Zealand.

Hope this doesn’t ruin his chances getting on Jeopardy
MatPat: Just think of this as a multi-day commercial break that you can't fast forward though!
Me, watching this in 2021: You underestimate my power!
today on How I Met Your Mother: Ted Breaks Jeopardy
Well Barney broke The Price Is Right
I just got done finishing that show yesterday
Adam Ruins Everything: Jeopardy!
Like your profile. You got my sub
He's Technoblade of Jeopardy, and everyone hated him for that.
Or techno is the james on minecraft.
Pineapple Doubt impossible bc James lost and technoblade never dies

TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES
Omg yes 😂
1:54 Alex coming back to life?
There's a whole new theory in town...
in Australia, we only got this show a couple of years ago and this guy is on right now
When you look at the date posted hoping the next episode is already out, just to find out it came out today....

Relatable
Dude I just did this and randomly scrolled down and saw this 😂😕
Matt: no one wants to hear about this
Me who is on the edge of my seat: wrong but go off I guess

Mat: says 5 categories
Video: shows 6 categories
Everybody: visible confusion
And for some odd reason there is a Freddy fazzbear
i believe that that isn’t a random meme, i think faz bear randomly popping up is intentional, it might be a easter egg, matt parts trying to tell us
*Everybody except the invisible man
@@isaiahcabral8673 isn't it part of a game he made?
Exactly, I'll take how many catogories for $1000 Alex
