Mark Evanier passes along a note about tonight's edition of Jeopardy!:
This Friday, March 16th, 2007...and for the first time in 23 years, "Jeopardy!" history will be made. It was such a remarkable event we consulted a Game Theory expert and he said it may never happen again! I wish I could give you more information about this special show, unfortunately, I can only encourage you and your valuable readers to watch Friday's program. Alex Trebek and our producers remain mum and I, myself, have been sworn to secrecy.
He goes on to speculate about the nature of the event. My initial thought was that there would be a three-way tie, but Mark takes that a step further and guesses that all the contestants end up with zero dollars.
Possible, I suppose. Or perhaps they each end up with one dollar. I haven't watched the show since the defeat of Ken Jennings, so maybe I'll give it a look tonight...
