Jeopardy was one of many game shows I watched growing up. I've had fond memories sitting around the TV and competing with my family to see who could answer the most clues. Alex Trebek, you will be missed :(

To practice web scraping and work with heatmaps, I thought it would be a fun project to scrape the ~21,000 Daily Double locations from all the games archived on j-archive.com and see where Daily Doubles are most commonly placed. I'm not the first person to do this (u/leme16 did this 2 years ago) but nevertheless I decided to update this heatmap for Seasons 1-37 in 2020.

Nice choice of data! Pretty interesting to see the categories are fairly close but Categories 2 and 6 are the least likely to have it by a decent amount, especially in the higher value sections

I can't see the words "Daily Double" without hearing the sound effect.
