I figure that on the average board I know 65-80% of the answers, assuming that I could resist the temptation to buzz in when I didn't, first crack should give me at least the lead going into Final Jeopardy every every time (there's still the variable of where the ones I know are distributed and who gets the daily doubles).
But where does that 20-35% you don't know fall? Wouldn't it trend towards the higher value answers?
