Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Historic Objects) for Friday, July 11, 2025 (Season 41, Game 220):

Described as both a “beautiful violet” & “French Blue” in the 1600s, this object went on tour in the 1900s before landing in the Smithsonian

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Edaureen Muhamad Nor, a book critic from Silver Spring, Maryland

Andrew Wang, a medical student from Winnetka, Illinois

Scott Riccardi, an engineer from Somerville, New Jersey (6-day total: $149,901)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Scott Riccardi survived a bit of a bump in the road in yesterday’s game, picking up just $4,999 after he got all four of the game’s major clues incorrect. Today, he goes for win #7 against Edaureen Muhamad Nor and Andrew Wang—much like Dan Puma earlier in the week, Andrew Wang is very well known to top quiz bowl players. We’ll see how much Scott’s game yesterday has affected him and if he’ll be able to rebound in order to sweep the week.

Correct response: What is the Hope Diamond?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

A common clue subject on Jeopardy!, the Hope Diamond is currently the centerpiece of the Harry Winston Gallery at the Smithsonian, after Winston donated one of the world’s largest diamonds to the Smithsonian in 1958 at the conclusion of a multi-year tour. Found in India in the 1600s, it was purchased by the French and spent most of the 17^th and 18^th centuries as part of the French crown jewels. Although it went missing during the French Revolution, the 45.52-carat diamond resurfaced in England in the early 19^th century before making its way to the United States in the early 20^th century.

Interestingly, the last time a clue about the Hope Diamond played—in a game featuring Andrew He—it fell for a Triple Stumper. We’ll see how it plays today.
