I have often wondered how long they have between Double and Final Jeopardy to study the situation and make their wagers.

It’s exactly the amount of time of the commercial break. [Full disclosure: I’ve never shared this on the Forum, but I was a contestant on the first Teen Tournament during the Alex era and later on a “Where Are They Now?” show in my 20s. Don’t ask how I did either time. 😜]
