Here's a clip of that Final Jeopardy round: https://www.newsweek.com/heres-final-jeopardy-answer-that-ended-amy-schneiders-40-game-winning-streak-1673395

Amy didn't seem too upset about losing. She had more of a complacent smile instead, and didn't even venture a guess at the Final Jeopardy answer. The new champ, Rhone, was absolutely beside himself when he won...like he could hardly believe what just happened.

It does seem like the perfect time to end it..if wanted.
Yes, a nice round number of 40 wins, almost $1.4M in winnings, and the #2 spot in the record books for most games won. A nice way to go out.

She'll have to adjust her clue selection strategy if she goes up against the likes of Brad Rutter, James Holzhauer or Matt Amodio in a tournament match. Starting out by picking all the low-dollar clues won't cut it against players like that. I always wondered why she didn't start at the bottom of the board like other big winners have done...she certainly had the smarts to make that kind of aggressive play work for her.
