What are the odds of a contestant getting the first Daily Double in the Jeopardy round followed immediately by the second and third Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy, leading to a potential octuple multiplication of their score?

    That would be hard to pull off, as the contestant that’s in third place selects first in Double Jeopardy. For a contestant to 8x their score, they would have to be in a distant third, get the next to last clue in the first round correct so that they get the Daily Double, still be in last place even after their score is doubled, then select the correct clues to start Double Jeopardy. That would be nearly impossible.
