Jamie Ding’s 31-game winning streak on Jeopardy! came to an end on Monday night, in part due to him slipping up on a question about a shape.
Ding’s string of victories ended abruptly on April 27 after he fell behind international chess master Greg Shahade in the first round and never made up the ground.
Shahade then significantly increased his lead by correctly answering all three Daily Double clues, earning a runaway advantage heading into the final round. In the last clue, host Ken Jennings gave the hint: “Home to private residences and hotels, the manmade archipelago seen here in Dubai is built in the shape of one of these.”
