Correct response: What is the George Cross?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Named after and first awarded by King George VI, the George Cross was devised due to the increasing number of stories detailing civilian bravery during The Blitz in 1940. It’s currently the second highest award in the UK honours system, awarded “for acts of the greatest heroism or most conspicous courage in circumstance of extreme danger”. As the existing civilian awards were judged to be insufficient for this purpose, the George Cross was created as an award on September 24, 1940. Since its inception, it has been awarded 408 times. Interesting, one of the recipients was the country of Malta in 1942, whose George Cross is actually shown on its national flag.

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Tonight’s results are below!
Scores going into Final:
Andrew $26,800
Justin $16,000
Jon $3,800
Tonight’s results:
Jon $3,800 – $3,800 = $0 (What is the Edward Cross)
Justin $16,000 – $7,000 = $9,000 (What is the George’s Cross?)
Andrew $26,800 + $2,200 = $29,000 (Automatic semifinalist)
Note: “George Cross” is not a possessive. A response of “George’s Cross” creates ambiguity with the heraldic “St. George’s Cross”, the red cross on white background that is the flag of England, which would explain why “George’s Cross” was not accepted.
Automatic Semifinalists:
Monday: Buzzy Cohen, $30,000 ($16,400, $8,400)
Tuesday: Jason Sterlacci, $23,000 ($18,800, $5,000)
