<p>In response to the question "What Final Jeopardy category would assure your victory"-we are not entirely familiar with Jeopardy, but the Final Jeopardy round appears to be one question, not a category-is this true? So for the short answer have people been picking one question, or a whole category (just in keeping with the spirit of the question)?</p>
<p>There is always a category announced for FInal Jeopardy before the question (answer) is revealed:</p>
<p>Final Jeopardy! (from Wikipedia)</p>
<p>A category is announced by the host followed by a commercial break (during which the staff comes on stage and advises the contestants while barriers are placed between the contestants). During this period, the contestants write down a wager, based on the category, of as little as $0 or up to as much money as they have accumulated. They are also provided pencil and paper to calculate their wagers.</p>
<p>After the final commercial break, the Final Jeopardy! clue is revealed and read by the host. The contestants have 30 seconds to write a response, again phrased in the form of a question. During the time in which the contestants write their response, the iconic “Think!” music plays in the background. Since 1984, contestants use a light pen to write down their Final Jeopardy! wager and response. Contestants are also provided with a pen and index card in the event of a malfunction with the light pen. The light pen is automatically turned off at the conclusion of the 30-second period. A keyboard with Braille keys is provided to visually impaired contestants.</p>
<p>Final Jeopardy! betting has been discussed by mathematicians as an exercise in game theory.[16]</p>
