What we learned about Amy Hummel during the show

"Amy Hummel is an ER from Milwaukee who is apparently a very skilled driver," host Ken Jennings said. "Tell us about learning how to drive stick."

After returning home from college, Hummel had two days to get to Cincinnati for the summer job she had lined up.

"Parents — very generously — are like, 'Hey, you can take the family car with you so you have a car in Cincinnati," Hummel said. "But, we got a new one and it has a stick shift."

The only problem: Hummel didn't know how to drive manual. Despite "a lot of tears" and stalling on hills, Hummel and the vehicle made it to Cincinnati.

"That poor clutch and that poor you," Jennings said. "But, you both survived."

"We did," Hummel said.

"Well done. You're doing very well on 'Jeopardy!'" Jennings said.
