"Klapper burst, gave the apparently correct answer ( Ewan McGregor ), and received points by the host Ken Jennings .

Foss tackled the situation of an episode of Monday, March 27, of the Inside Jeopardy! Podcast, where she was held near the decision .

"In the Danger Round, we had the slightest idea - it was actually the final clue of the round - "quantity the story of fish", [was] the category ", explained Foss. She then read the full index: "The strength of Hallström was strong to attract this Scottish to play a fishing expert Yemen salmon fishing . ""

Foss argued that Klapper buzzed and responded with "McGregor".

"Many people thought she had just said" Gregor ", continued Foss." I must once again tell you the guys, we stopped, we listened to the band - I know it was not Also audible for you at home - but her lips moved definitively, she made a sound '`McGregor' ', and we knew that she had in fact had the right answer. ""

Foss and its co-host, former Danger! champion Buzzy Cohen , discussed Klapper's global gameplay, in particular his latest daily double wager - another painful place for fans.

Klapper had a "good lead," noted Cohen, but when she found the second double daily (which was the last double danger index!), She bet $ 3000 and responded correctly. However, she could have obtained an "locking game" on the run - with regard to it could not be ended in final danger! - If she had bet a little more ($ 3,401).

"Why didn't Melissa not have Bet another $ 500 On this last DD ?? "A Twitter user demanded." It would not have made a lot of difference if it was missing but would make a lot of difference if she had it. Maybe just a brain fart due to the pressure? ""

Foss and Cohen said that the calculation of betting on television is stressful.

Klapper made his mistake just after updating the score, said Cohen, coming to the defense of the first player.

"You know, I think that when you are up there and you make a quick decision-many times, people make these double daily bettors," he said during the last Inside Jeopardy! podcast.

Cohen added that the candidates will consider how confident they feel in the category and if they will lose their heads if they bet too much and are incorrect. He also said that doing math on television is stressful, which is why some players are counting rather on ranges.

Foss echoes this and said: "[Klapper] realized that she made" a stupid mathematical error ", as she called it - and Ken said:" Hey, that's a lot pressure at that time. ""

"You are trying to do the right thing, and you try to get double this issue, but it's fast mathematics - and it's not just quick mathematics on your sofa, it's any Quick mathematics on the Alex Trebek stage with the lights, with the cameras, knowing that millions of people will look at you, "added Foss.

In the end, the bet had little impact, while Klapper responded to the last danger! index correctly and guarantees victory.

"I understand that $ 3,401 would have been a more optimal bet there, but I certainly feel for Melissa, I don't think she should put herself on her," concluded Cohen.
