Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Thursday, November 3, 2016:
Final Jeopardy! category: LITERARY ANIMALS
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: In a 1926 book, he “is in a very sad condition, because it’s his birthday, & nobody has taken any notice of it, & he’s very gloomy”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Sharon Stern Gerstman, an attorney from Buffalo, New York
Rachel Hopkins, a student from Middletown, Rhode Island
Vivek Ravishanker, a freelance consultant from Higganum, Connecticut (2-day total: $43,200)
This quote is from the 1926 book Winnie-the-Pooh, Chapter 6: In Which Eeyore Has A Birthday And Gets Two Presents.
I thought it was an easier Final Jeopardy! at home, but I also know that sometimes the show needs an easy Final like this in order to keep Final Jeopardy! strategy more balanced. Sometimes you get an easy Final, sometimes you get a hard one.
