Jeopardy! 3-way tie for $16,000 a historic first

[disciple]

"I'll take surprise finishes for $16,000, Alex." For the first time in Jeopardy! history, a three-way winning tie concluded Friday night's episode after a nail-biting, surprise "Final Jeopardy!" round. All three contestants ended the show with $16,000 and all three were declared winners.

"We've had a lot of crazy things happen on Jeopardy! but in 23 years I've never seen anything like this before!" said an amused host Alex Trebek.

Jeopardy! officials contacted Game Theory expert Dr. David Levine at Washington University in St. Louis, who said the odds of such a three-way tie happening on the show were 1 in 25 million.

i could just imagine the scene at the studio...

Announcer: 1 in 25 million? This is MADNESS!!
