Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category British Cities) for Monday, November 27, 2023 (Season 40, Game 56):
Over the motto “Fortis est Veritas”, the coat of arms of this city features a beast of burden crossing over some water
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Nick Cascone, an orthopedic physician assistant originally from Queens, New York
Dennis Chase, a biotech project manager from Palm Springs, California
Jen Jazwinski, a youth services librarian from Algonquin, Illinois
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Another group of 27 players is down to 3; one of these three players will be this bracket’s representative in this winter’s Tournament of Champions! As I said in my finals preview, I think Dennis is the best player in this final; he’s been strong on the signaling device. However, Dennis has had a slight tendency to let opponents back into games (either by giving too many incorrect responses in the quarterfinal or not hunting enough for the Daily Doubles in the semis). This could make for a very interesting final, especially because Jen is not afraid to make incredibly aggressive bets. Additionally, you can’t count Nick out of this—his social media presence during this competition has certainly been seen by some longtime fans as a sign that Nick would perform well!
Today’s game is a two-game total-point final; today’s final scores are added to tomorrow’s to determine the overall winner!

Correct response: What is Oxford?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The coat of arms of the famous British university town, Oxford, features a visual pun—an ox (a beast of burden) fording the water (crossing over some water—likely representing the Thames, considering the local geography).
The motto “Fortis est Veritas”—meaning “the truth is strong”—might be able to point players towards a city of higher learning. However, I would say that the best way of getting to the correct response to this one would be to focus on “What words are the writers taking great pains to avoid saying here?”—a useful tool sometimes when trying to figure out the correct answer to a trivia question whose correct answer isn’t readily apparent to you.
