12:09Welcome back to Jeopardy! Australia.
12:11Now it's time to find out a little bit more about our contestants.
12:14And we'll start with you, Jared Waterlow.
12:16You're from Seven Hills in Sydney.
12:18And you have a profession that I regard very, very heavily.
12:21It's physio.
12:23Yeah, it's really good, really rewarding.
12:25I don't like to say fell.
12:26I walked off a stage not knowing there was a drop of six foot a year or so ago.
12:31And the orthopedic surgeon said to me, there's nothing we can do, frankly.
12:34It's all the immune system and a good physio.
12:37So my physio, who's about this high, she was fantastic and got me walking again.
12:41Yeah, sometimes we inflict a bit more pain on them than they're experiencing anyway.
12:45But no, it's good to see good results with our patients.
12:47And you are a collector of that great Australian artefact, the budgie smuggler.
12:53Yeah, I think I've got 13 or 14 pairs now.
12:57So you won't often see me wearing curtains of shame on my legs.
13:01I'll be strutting my stuff.
13:02I'm not sure I can get away with budgie smugglers, frankly.
13:05I don't know what that'd look like, but I'm not going to say.
13:08Well, enjoy the rest of the game.
13:10Now we turn to Mel Sweeney.
13:13Mel from Mentone in Melbourne, who went to Monash.
13:17Yeah, my parents didn't think that through.
13:21And you are a post-doctoral science graduate with a PhD in biochemistry.
13:27Yes, so I'm in academic research, looking at protein structures
13:30to try and aid medicine development.
13:33Protein structures.
13:33Aren't they the most difficult things in the world?
13:35Wasn't that Dorothy Hodgkins?
13:36That was Dorothy Hodgkins.
13:37You know, Nobel Prize.
13:38But now AI and quantum computing can help you with those,
13:42the folding and everything, yes?
13:43Sometimes.
13:44Sometimes they either tend to predict it very, very well or very poorly.
13:49So I'm not out of a job yet.
13:50Oh, well, that's very good to know.
13:52After all that work, it'd be a bit depressing if you turned up
13:54and found some sort of AI robot there.
13:56But you've also got a degree in arts and literature.
13:59Yes.
14:00Truly rounded person.

14:05And we return to Alex Palmer, who, as we know, comes from Sydney.
14:09And we know a few things about you,
14:12but I gather you have over 100 houseplants.
14:16Yeah, when my partner and I went overseas to get married,
14:19we realised we needed someone to look after the houseplants,
14:21so we submitted a request to a plant sitting service.
14:25And then they asked how many we had, so we had to count them.
14:28That's the only reason I know that.
14:29But then they never replied.
14:31So I think...
14:33It was too exhausting for them.
14:34Too exhausting, yeah.
14:35Excellent.
14:35Well, I hope you all have a wonderful time for the rest of the game.

39:17I know you're surrounded
39:18by two superb players
39:19of the game
39:20and apart from anything else,
39:21what people watching
39:21don't know is
39:22how tricky it is
39:23to get on that buzzer.
39:24It's really...
39:25I'm so uncoordinated for this.
39:26Oh, you poor thing.
39:28Anyway, we'll see how it goes.
39:30Jared, you're on 5,000.
39:32Alex, good lead.
39:3311,800.
39:34Two very brave
39:35and extraordinary
39:36pieces of daily double play there
39:39and they've put you
39:40where you are now
39:41and it's time
39:42to play Final Jeopardy.
39:44So, let's see what category
39:45we have for you there.
39:49It's 20th century history.
39:52All right, in a moment
39:54I'm going to reveal
39:55one final clue
39:56but now it's time
39:57to decide how much
39:58you're prepared to wager
40:00after seeing that category,
40:0220th century history.
40:04Meanwhile,
40:05we'll take a short break.
40:19Welcome back to Jeopardy! Australia.
40:21Now, everybody has made their wages.
40:24The category is 20th century history.
40:27Here now for you
40:28is your clue.
40:30After 27 years behind bars,
40:34Nelson Mandela is released
40:35from Victor Verster prison
40:37in this year.
40:40You have 30 seconds
40:41to write down your response.
40:42Good luck, all three of you.
41:13Well, music's over the 32nd.
41:17Mel, we're going to start
41:18with you on $700.
41:20The question was,
41:22what was the year
41:22when Nelson Mandela walked free?
41:25What did you write?
41:27What is 1993?
41:29I'm afraid that isn't
41:31the right response.
41:32Never mind.
41:33How much did you gamble?
41:35$700 you might as well have done
41:37and that takes you down
41:38to zero, of course.
41:40So, sorry about that
41:42but anyway,
41:43we'll see what happens
41:43with the others.
41:45Jared, you're next.
41:46You're on $5,000.
41:48Which year did you think it was?
41:50Oh, you thought it was 1993 as well
41:53and how much did you gamble?
41:55A lot.
41:55Ah, the lot.
41:56$5,000.
41:57So, you are equal now
41:59with Mel on
42:00Zilch Zip Zero.
42:02Who knows
42:03what the real response is.
42:05Maybe Alex wrote it.
42:06He's on $11,800.
42:08What did you put down?
42:101994.
42:11Do you know what?
42:12That isn't right either.
42:13That isn't right either.
42:15It should be 1990.
42:171990.
42:18He walks free
42:19his long walk
42:20to freedom.
42:21And how much
42:22did you bet though?

42:26Nothing too disastrous.
42:27You're on $10,001
42:29and for the second time
42:30you're our champion.
