Guys the only statistic saying that this game was the easiest was how well the players preformed. Therefore, this statistic doesn’t take individual skill into account. As we know James was one of if not the most accurate players ever, so the games he would appear in would on average have a higher score.(provided that they did not tamper with the questions in any way) Now compound that with the fact that whoever could beat James would have to also be adept at answering questions and it makes sense that the contestants would do well that game. What I’m saying is A high coryat score doesn’t necessarily mean that the questions were easier as it can be affected by the skill of the contestants.

It was rigged because the show deviated from favoring the more knowledgeable player. That is the default of the show as that’s kind of the whole point. Even increasing the difficulty to absurd levels still keeps to that premise. But easier questions means it’s all down to who can click first. The game now favors high reflexes and his advantage is more or less nullified which improves the likelihood they end up in that critical end game situation. At that point, once they reveal the obviously biased final jeopardy, both understand what their best strategies are. Hers is to bet high which she is almost guaranteed to get correct while his only option is to bet low and hope she makes a mistake. Depending on how sinister the show was, I wonder if they had different categories/questions for final jeopardy depending on what their relative score was? That way they can arrange what each of the player’s best strategies would be and always go with an option where he has the highest chance to lose. Or do they just always go for the biased category every time to ensure at the very least she has very good odds of answering correctly?

"wow how did james do so good" other contestants: what is Dankey Kang?

Another take on the coryat score: The coryat score is based on how well the contestants play, not how tough the questions are (athough easy questions make it more likely the contestants will perform well, of course.) Since James answers most questions, James' play is the origin of the majority of the coryat score... but his play is VERY consistent. That means the variation in the coryat score is chiefly from his competitors. If one of the other competitors is also very good, the coryat score rises very easily. So you totally expect a very high coryat score when James is challenged well. The best player can be ousted only by another VERY good player... which would necessarily result in a very high coryat score. But is it hard to believe the coincidence that the game that would oust him would feature a final jeopardy question that was in his opponent's wheelhouse? No. A player on a winning streak doesn't usually lose to a superior player, otherwise every winner would have to be the best that ever played. They lose to someone who gets lucky. Being a tough competitor merely means slightly less luck is needed. But whoever beats an all-time great is going to have to have uncanny luck. Like catching him on a bad day when easy questions leave him vulnerable, but the final jeopardy is a tough one you happen to know.

Wow. After Emma dethroned James as Jeopardy champion, her streak ended after only two or three games which I thought might support this theory. Then again, she absolutely demolished everyone in the champions tournement except for James in the final round. She's a really good player in her own right. I really think it took a combination of all of these factors to knock James off as champion. Although, having two of the smartest players in the game's history would certainly raise the Coryat score of that match. It's hard to say if this was intentional, but James alone raised the average Coryat score just be getting so many questions right.

Oh please she wasn't "as big of a gun" as James was. If anything He was a Nuke and she was an RPG. It was the method they implemented that made her close to dangerous. Everyone knows that if they kept the game the same, it would've been a stomp. And the whole question being exactly what her Thesis was about.... Really?

One massive issue with this theory: the coryat score is based on how many questions are answered correctly which means, having a very strong player in the game who answers most questions correctly makes the coryat score higher and the game seem easier. Indeed, this video mentions every game James plays has a high coryat score average of ~ 45k which could simply be a reflection of James’ excellence! Now, take James and add another very strong player to the mix and you might just get a score of 53k.

@dudeekill4win

Absolutely true if it wasn't the absolute highest scoring game in history. James was an anomaly and putting a specifically easier set of questions would remove his advantages he would normally have. Yes both players were incredibly strong but when only 1 question is missed when there is more than just the 2 that answered. Well thats when it comes to be suspicious. The score is fairly meaningless by itself but when you stack on that he was winning so much money, he was about to beat the old earnings record, a player was brought in that literally studied jeopardy, a final question almost tailored to her AND the score. Well i dont blame people for thinking it was rigged.

The coryat score could also be argued to be accurate since all three players were good. This game was relatively easy for all three of them making this data still valid. This game may not have been easy if a different lineup happened, but since each person has different knowledge stored in their brain, the coryat score is best representation for the difficulty relative to that set of people. Difficulty with trivia is relative, it's not linear unlike the knowledge of a chess AI on computing the best decision each time. Difficulty on a trivia and knowledge based game without answers being given like who wants to be a millionaire is 100% relative, so the coryat score for that set of contestants being the easiest in history means that for that set of three with those questions, this set was relatively very easy. The only probability involved was did the person who clicked the button first know the answer, and for all but 1 incorrect answer, they did.

There is ALMOST no way to prove it. All it would take is for one camera to show him press the button the fraction of a second quicker than the opponents and for a viewer to see this and time it. At that point, you can't say it was video lag or delay, especially if it's never happened before. Look at the lengths Mat Pat went to just to show these videos. Someone out there would notice a delay in the buzzer, and they would call out Jeopardy on it. Plus, with game shows, they have to log maintenance and testing on everything. I work for a car company that runs vehicles on a dyno and before every shift, we have to run Quality Control tests. These show how far off the dyno is for the tests so that they can include a margin of error. I find it hard to believe that someone hasn't complained in the past about the buzzers having a delay and Jeopardy not being able to prove that the buzzers were calibrated correctly before each show.

It's cool to see film theory doing a part 2 of it

The issue with this theory is evident on paper though. Corvat scores are by nature subjective, as contestants will *never* have the same exact knowledge base with which to answer questions. Knowing this, and looking at the corvat scores of James' episodes versus the average, we see a skewing towards a higher value. This is explained by the fact that he literally took a year to study topics that would come up in trivia. Now, analyzing the corvat score of the final game and taking into account the fact that 66% of the contestants in that game were people who both 1) had some of the most extensive knowledge bases of any contestants ever to grace the show and 2) both people of obvious higher intelligence as evidenced by the information we know about their daily lives, it's almost unfair to say that that specific episode was the easiest in history because of the corvat score. It's like saying the test was easy because the average percentage was higher due to the fact that only the smart kids were there that day.

The Coryat score argument is irrelevant since it's influenced by how good the players in that game is. The score measures the combined skill of the players in the game just as much as it measures difficulty of the questions. The Coryat score was higher in James' games simply because of his ability to almost never give a wrong answer regardless of difficulty.

@Vacuon

2 жыл бұрын

It's relevant when you compare games in which he plays, he removes part of that dependancy. The thing is the guy never misses so he does kinda erase his influence because of that. But even then, 32 games is a big enough sample that the other 2 participants should be statistically similar enough to draw conclusions. Not to mention that in trivia participant's skill and game difficulty are the same thing. If you ask me trivia about X topic I might find it easy and you hard, but then Y topic comes up and I'm totally stumped and you get it right every time. So the concept of skill and difficulty are not really distinct it's more a single idea closer to "participant fit" and the Coryat score measures that. And we can say that the last game had the best fit with contestants ever. Even if it's not proof, you can admit it's suspicious.

Also, I'm glad you did the tiny bit of studying of wagering to debunk the theory that James lost on purpose, and that ad revenue is determined months in advance.
