and another $15,000 for the 2nd round bye). The scores were $0 for Forrest, $28,200 for the winner Phil Yellman, and $12,999 for Lara Robillard. There were no "wild card" spots for nonwinners in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions, meaning neither Robillard nor Forrest had a chance of advancing to Round 3. Yellman, coming in second in round 3, lost to Pam Mueller along with Brian Moore. At the end of Super Jeopardy, Forrest's total cash winnings totaled $227,800. Battle of the Decades Forrest returned for the Battle of the Decades tournament on February 3, 2014. He became a quarterfinalist, defeating India Cooper and Jim Scott. Cooper returned for the quarterfinals as a standby contestant. On May 9, he competed against 1990s champion Mark Dawson and 2000s champ Colby Burnett. Forrest won the game by $900, while Burnett in second place, moved on as a wildcard. He competed against Ken Jennings and Russ Schumacher in the semi-finals on May 12 and briefly led in the Double Jeopardy! round, but ultimately finished in second place to Jennings, who moved on to the finals. Forrest earned $25,000 in that appearance bringing his all-time cash winnings on Jeopardy to a grand total of $252,800. "Forrest Bounce" Forrest implemented a strategy known as the "Forrest Bounce" in his play to potentially confuse opponents. (Forrest referred to the technique as the "Rubin Bounce" after a law school friend, Donn Rubin, who first suggested it.) The Forrest Bounce is applied in the Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy! rounds with the player in control of the board "bouncing" between different categories rather than continuing through individual categories in sequence. According to Forrest, "The basic point is, you know where you're going next and [your competitors] don't." Host Alex Trebek has expressed aggravation with people who use the Forrest Bounce, noting that the show's writers purposely set up the clues in each category to flow when picked sequentially; he noted in a 2018 interview that Forrest failed to win the Tournament of Champions using the Forrest Bounce, vindicating Trebek's feelings on the topic and his suspicion that Forrest was "trying to disrupt" the game. Personal life Chuck Forrest is from Livonia, Michigan. He attended Birmingham Seaholm High School, Yale University, and University of Michigan Law School. Forrest and Mark Lowenthal, a five-time champion in Season 4, co-wrote the 1992 book Secrets of the Jeopardy Champions. Like Forrest, Lowenthal won
