A prize awaits the one who can solve this question. Think you are smart?

It would depend on at what point you hit the daily doubles..

Trick question.

How much on the daily doubles were wagered?

When did the daily doubles occur?

How much was wagered on final jeopardy?

I got 566,400 if everything went perfectly. Daily doubles hidden behind smallest amounts and picked last

142,400

nevermind.. was wrong on the number of daily doubles in each round

President trump would know right off the bat

I'll take

$32 m
For
Final jeopardy

569,600? im just guessing now

Simple math equation

assume you answered first and correctly every single question

Add all dollar amounts from the first round and second round. Assume you always made it a "true daily double" for both the first and second rounds, assume you made the highest possible risk during final jeopardy

(X) + (Y2) + (Z3)

Whereas x = all dollar amounts of each question from the first and second round added together

Whereas y = the total of your first round's daily double times 2 for the second daily double

Whereas z = x + y, times three, assuming the highest reward in final jeopardy

You are close, but wrong. You have understood enough to get this far, that is smart. Keep trying.

We have a winner!!!! Potato is always correct

"I was wondering how much money one person could win on the game show Jeopardy."

You did not say how much you could win playing one game. You just asked how much they could win on the show.

Now the rules are you can play week after week if you win. So I guess there is an unlimited amount you could win.

No but it's closer than your first guess.

For the sake of this thread then, lets figure out how much you can win in 1 game, a single show.

you dont get the actual amount for the daily double from whatever the amount the clue is worth

This is true and must be taken into account.

Oops, I notice my numbers are showing as multiplication and not exponentials which makes it hard to explain the equation

35,200 for first round

Not only how many games did the person play, but also the breakdown Given above would apply to each game.

Next, did this player play in the champions round?

Then all of the same possible outcomes would still apply.

The answer is simply unknown but it would be a YYYYuge amount.

1 (:/to) 589,645

I don't know.. it is just boring right now.

Oh now you clarifying.

After we called you out on this stuff.

Cheater..

If you answered every question correctly, you would win all the money on Jeopardy.

352,000

$566,400

Trick question :)

The answer, for ONE EPISODE, is $566, 400. HOWEVER, your question doesn't stipulate any delimiter - it just asks how much you can win. Theoretically - there's no limit other than the show's total payout budget, which is a number we CAN'T calculate or know.

The daily doubles would all have to be the final questions left on the board for it to be a max payout.

I clarified as soon as I saw your post, I do apologize. Please have a little patience. I still think it's an interesting math question.

It's pretty basic math. Didn't cheat, fuck you

How many fucks could a dumb fuck give if a dumb fuck could give fucks?

None.

No that's correct. 1 in a zillion odds of it happening but 566400 is the number

And they would have to be placed within the cheapest questions at the top.
