Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Notable American Women) for Friday, June 28, 2024 (Season 40, Game 210):

In her autobiography she tells of a rather “singular coincidence”, that one of her Swiss ancestors was a teacher of the deaf

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Cat Pisacano, a nurse from New York, New York

Andrew Fox, a clinical psychologist from Robbinsdale, Minnesota

Drew Basile, a graduate student from Birmingham, Michigan (7-day total: $129,601)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

After winning 3 games last week (the May 8 tape day), Drew Basile has the opportunity to run the May 14 tape day and end the week again as Jeopardy! champion. However, Andrew Fox from Minnesota and Cat Pisacano from New York are both hoping that Drew’s win streak ends at seven games.

I have an occasional mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!

Correct response: Who is Helen Keller?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

In Helen Keller’s biography, The Story of My Life, she wrote that one of her Swiss ancestors was Zurich’s first teacher of the deaf who wrote a book on the subject of their education.

I think that the most difficult part of this Final Jeopardy clue is knowing to stay with Helen Keller as a response, and not decide to go for Anne Sullivan—Helen Keller’s teacher and companion—instead.
