Through six games, he was averaging over $40,000 a day, but with his paltry winnings yesterday, it dropped to to a mire $39,000 and change.

Please post the Final Jeopardy! category when it comes up (remember, the category only )

Does he have some other special experience or education? Or is he just blessed with a great brain? He seems really cool, easy-going.
