Librarian Emma Boettcher's win on Monday's episode of 'Jeopardy!' ended professional gambler's remarkable run on the TV show. Here's some trivia about her.
The 27-year-old Boettcher joined the university in August 2016 and is a “user experience resident librarian.” Her background is notable because Holzhauer famously said that he obtained much of his trivia smarts from nonfiction children’s books he read at the library.
At UNC, she wrote an award-winning paper about the show’s trivia answers, titled"What Is Difficulty?: Estimating the Difficulty of Fact-Finding Questions Using the ‘Jeopardy!’ Archive.” In the meantime, she honed her skills as a trivia buff and hoped to return to the syndicated series to put her “lifelong love of trivia to good use.”
She described her approach as “whimsical” and “data-driven” while other contestants are more “systematic.”
