Ken Jennings' run on Jeopardy is over. As reported over on kottke.org some time ago, today was the broadcast day of Mr. Jennings' last day on Jeopardy.
He lost in Final Jeopardy. It was only a two person Final Jeopardy. The challenger - Nancy Zerg - had $10,000 - Ken had $14,000
The answer was: MOST OF THIS FIRM'S 70,000 SEASONAL EMPLOYEES WORK ONLY 4 MONTHS A YEAR
Ken's Response: What is Fed Ex?
The Correct Response: What is H&R Block?
The Challenger bet $4,401 taking her to $14,401 - one dollar over Ken.
Ken bet $5,601 taking him down to $8,799 and looses.
Update: Nancy Zerg's "Giant Killing" Championship lasted only one day, finishing last the next day
