This is the second game of a two-day final!

This game originally aired on November 20, 2015.

Today’s contestants:

Kerry Greene, a volunteer CASA guardian ad litem from Manchester, NH (yesterday’s total: $3,400)

Alex Jacob, a currency trader from Chicago, IL (yesterday’s total: $29,600)

Matt Jackson, a paralegal from Washington, DC (yesterday’s total: $3,000)

Kaya Chua was in the audience for the semifinals and finals; she provided her thoughts back in November to The Jeopardy! Fan.

Well, this one was decided on the 8th clue of Double Jeopardy; Matt did what he had to, sending $10,000 at a Daily Double. Unfortunately, he missed, and found himself playing for second — which he barely eked out from Kerry (by the margin of a single clue).

Final Jeopardy! category: PHILOSOPHERS

Final Jeopardy! clue: His last name means a type of burial place & in 1855 that’s where he went
