A number of people have been following Amy and her Jeopardy odyssey. She's my downstairs neighbor, has been for about 20 years, and lives in an identical apartment two floors below me.

Oakland software engineer and writer Amy Schneider struggled to keep up while competing in the “Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament,” despite being a history-making veteran of the quiz show.
Schneider competed against five-time winner Luigi de Guzman, an attorney from Virginia, and 2019 Teen Tournament winner Avi Gupta, a law student from Oregon, during the episode, which aired Monday, Feb. 24.
She was able to regain her footing during Double Jeopardy! by correctly identifying the battle of Thermopylae as the 480 B.C. battle, in which the forces of Leonidas and Xerxes faced off. The small victory brought her total up to $12,200, putting her in the lead.
The “Jeopardy!” champ, who rose to fame for a 40-game victory streak that ended in January 2022 during her first run on the show and placed fourth in last year’s “Jeopardy! Masters,” got off to a rocky start, unable to provide correct responses to clues during the first round.
