Yesterday was the first ever 3-way tie on Jeopardy! Unless you count the time when everyone lost, which I don't. This time they all ended up with $16 000! I was watching with my sister and mother and we were all extremely surprised and amused. What happened was that the 2nd and 3rd place contestants were tied at $8 000 and bet everything, and the guy who was leading bet just enough to tie with them: "It was an intentional bet. I counted on Anders and Jamey betting rationally and wagering everything. I thought it would be really cool to be a part of Jeopardy history. I knew that meant I'd be playing seasoned opponents, but it didn't matter to me. I had already won a couple of games myself, and I thought it would be neat to share the money." Basically, instead of winning $16 001 for himself, he let everyone win $16 000. How nice is that?
