@@ccam1679 I think that the champion remembered "Aretha, Queen of Soul" only in the last moments, knew he had enough time to write last name only, then stroked out "Elvis" so there was two last names to appear consistent.
@@haweater1555He could have left Elvis in the "building" and it would have counted, but Presley and Franklin sufficed. I snuck in Franklin at the last possible 5 seconds.
I can't believe I drew a blank on #1! I did get numbers 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, & 10 correct. I went with the wrong musicians, the wrong German, and the wrong city on 3, 6, & 9, respectively.
Why the hell would he worry about betting small to guarantee second when there’s a player on his tail who’s close enough to make the $399 bet not mean crap if she gets it right?
None of these are exceptionally difficult. It’s more a matter of contestants not considering all information given in a final jeopardy to be relevant in some way when they are tailored to “gettable” for people who do not have specific expert knowledge in that subject.
The State Capitals category is the most famous hard category, mainly as the only episode to start with returning co-champions and finish with three losers! It's the only episode I really wanna see!!!
A prime # example. Those are all prime numbers I hope, otherwise I'm gonna get it from Mr Newton, Pythagoras and Einstein, I can only hope. Or my 5th grader.
The Little Rock Nine was an early civil Rights event where nine African Americans integrated Little Rock High School. Needless to say the transition wasn't the smoothest.
Michael Jackson was long buried by 2018. The trick was to realize that Monarch isnt strictly a paternal title. Only when i considered this did Aretha come to mind=Queen of Soul=BOOM . shaka laka
I’m tempted to say the first one, “What is [a] Quantum Leap?” is too easy for this list, but considering this likely is a standard “countdown” style video, it most likely eked in at #10. There was just enough info supplied by the answer to get me to think of the proper question on that one. I’d give myself ½ credit if half-right answers counted as correct on the show, so I missed the music category. I only mention it because everybody can guess Elvis Presley, but I l’m born and raised in Michigan and I was immediately distrautht and embarrassed when they said Aretha Franklin. I live literally maybe 75-90 minutes tops from Detroit, heard about her death in the news 6 years ago and still couldn’t get it...D’OH! *🤦* I was able to use the hometown of Waldorf to think of the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, and am enough of a history buff to recall the name John Jacob Astor. For the duck-bill platypus one, I thought of the Southern Hemisphere category, picked something and threw a dart at the board. Dumb luck saved me on that one. *😅* Finally, as a long-time enjoyer of baseball, again a history buff, and having been to Cooperstown, NY and the MLB Hall of Fame museuk where Abbott and Costello’s brilliant “Who’s on First?” sketch plays non-stop and having seen MANY reactions to it in the past few years, I instantly went through all the positions and their names, as one of the contestants also seemed to try to do. Eliminating Who (1st), What (2nd) and Why (LF) left where and when. So, yeah, I somehow amazed myself and got 4/10 here. With a little more thought I might’ve gotten Utah and Little Rock, but I didn’t want a video on *⏸️* all day LOL.
On that "musical monarchs" clue, I thought the correct question/answer was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, because the former was the "King of Rock and Roll," and the latter was the "King of Pop." Well, I was right about Presley, but I was wrong about Jackson, because the right question/answer was "Who were Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin," the latter being the "Queen of Soul." I didn't even THINK about her, and apparently, neither did any of those three contestants. On that "Sports And Comedy" clue about the two of the "five w"s of journalism that were NOT part of Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" skit, I can't believe one of those three contestants thought one of the "w"s was "WHO"! WAS HE OUT OF HIS MIND? "Who" was not only a part of the routine, IT WAS PART OF THE TITLE! The sketch was called "WHO'S On First"! If it wasn't part of the title, there would have been no point of including it in the routine, and if it wasn't in the routine, there would have been no point of putting it in the title. DIDN'T THAT IDIOT LISTEN TO THE CLUE, OR WASN'T HE TAUGHT HOW TO LISTEN, OR HOW TO THINK?
And his other w was what. Even a caveman knows who is on first and what's on second. He clearly never struck out or come into contact with the Mighty Casey at bat.
Probably because a lot of people born in more recent generations would likely not know it, or at least, not in as many numbers as older people. Just my guess.
Worthless clickbait. The first one here was a 1/10 difficulty that all three contestants got just as quickly as I did. The title says "hardest" not "easiest" so I was expecting something brutal that stumped both the masses and the contestants. That physics one did neither.

I didn't think of Franklin at all, and didn't know she had passed in 2018 (never follo'd her career);
8/10 better than last time.

Wow, I got the Dymaxion one right. Thanks, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader (really!), for that article on Buckminster Fuller.
LOL! Uncle John's works are among my favorites to peruse in the "reading room".
@@mayorb3366 They're all reading rooms except that one. That's strictly business!. In and out, no one gets hurt.
wow these were Hard!! i didn't get any
1 of these was Matt Amodio’s 38th game, his last winning game, before Jonathan Fisher beat him.
I forgot, was Sixtus The Fifth before or after Fifteth the Sixth?
Chuck from State Birds should've bet $0-$399! He had the win in the bag but he lost it!
Too bad everyone

@@masterdoge987 exactly 👍
The first question was wildly obvious
Those questions were so easy.. did I suddenly get smart or was I just intimidated by this programme..

It's a rare day to see co-champions or triple losers.
@@komitkaziWhat's sadder, Mike is the only contestant who never got to return as solo champion!
Was Lavar serious in the way he pronounced where and when? I thought I was watching Stewie on Family Guy.
God I forget how long Matt Ammodio was around
Matt Amodio won 38 games. Then, on Michael Davies’ 1st day as executive producer, soon to be 11-Day Champion: Jonathan Fisher defeated him.
I got # 1, 3, 5, 7 correct.
What are the odds? 😄
Some seem like they were hard at the time but not so much now, others I got on the first word of the clue.

Well, the “idiot” was on Jeopardy, did you ever make it?
How is a question everyone answered correctly one of the hardest?
Probably because a lot of people born in more recent generations would likely not know it, or at least, not in as many numbers as older people. Just my guess.
NEE-chuh
Second syllable is a schwa.
😑
Quantum Leap was incredibly easy. These are supposed to be the HARDEST Final Jeopardy questions?
These just simply aren’t the hardest of all time. Extremely annoying, clickbait title
I know right? Quantum Leap??? I nailed that and I know nothing about physics.
Still fun.
You can't quantify what is subjective . "Golf wizard" sums it up.
Most of them sounded pretty hard to me. I knew the correct response to that Little Rock clue, though.
@@TheSaltydog07exactly what I thought!! 😊
The first one should not be on here, especially considering all 3 contestants got it correct. I had it before Alex even finished reading the clue.
Probably younger generations mostly have never heard of that terminology, hence why it made it on here. Just my best guess.
@@a.grimes4202 I only got it because I was a fan of the show.
Dumb luck
