I think it does. He chose daily-doubles when I didn't know the answer and bet low. It denies the others the D-D and means he didn't lose much.
This is explained in detail later on.
It's not the most felicitous of phrasing but it makes sense to me.
- fullshark 9y agoThe wording is confusing at best, flat out incorrect at worst if that’s what they meant there.
- eridius 9y agoAre the Daily Doubles not randomly-placed? How do you "hunt" them?
- whoopdedo 9y agoThey're actually not distributed evenly, so it is possible to hunt and find them with a reasonably high probability of success. This has probably been discovered multiple times by people independently, but was most widely publicized by Flowing Data two years ago. I don't know if the producers ever explained why Daily Doubles are more likely to appear in certain places. Perhaps they intend for observant contestants to be able to guess at their locations. http://flowingdata.com/2015/03/03/where-to-find-jeopardy-daily-doubles/ http://flowingdata.com/2015/03/03/where-to-find-jeopardy-dai...
- paulcole 9y ago>buzzing in when he didn't know the answers to prevent other contestants from winning money How does buzzing in when you don’t know the answer (not betting less when you’ve uncovered a daily double) keep others from winning money? When you buzz in and get the answer wrong it doesn’t affect my ability to buzz in and get it right.
