Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category On the Old Map) for Monday, September 28, 2020 (Season 37, Game 11):
On the U.N. website’s map of the world in 1945, these 2 initials of a member state appear 13 times on continental Africa
(correct response beneath the contestants)
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to abide by physical distancing guidelines and when you are not able to do so, properly wear a mask. Ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.
Today’s contestants:
Eric Aiese, a media researcher from North Hollywood, California
Paula Spence, an art director & designer for TV animation from Altadena, California
Sameer Gandhi, a writer from Pasadena, California (2-day total: $37,400)

Correct response: What is U.K.?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
For the third time in 11 episodes, we appear to have a problem with Final Jeopardy.
You can find the 1945 map of the world on the U.N. website here. I looked at this map this morning here at The Jeopardy! Fan, and I count 17, not 13, instances of U.K. in continental Africa. Obviously, it’s the “correct” answer, as nothing else comes close to 13, but on the map, you can find that U.K. appears with Gambia, Sierra Leone, Libya (shared with France per the map), Gold Coast, Togoland, Nigeria, Cameroons, Eritrea, Uganda, Kenya, Tanganyika, North Rhodesia, South Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Bechuanaland, Swaziland, and Basutoland; this doesn’t even count British Somaliland, which doesn’t have the initials beside it. (I’m also hoping that by mentioning the name of the site, it’ll be very obvious when my content is stolen wholesale by others without them actually reading what’s here). However, while the British Empire was already starting to set by 1945, with many of its colonial possessions already having declared independence, it still had quite a colonial hold in Africa at that point. Most of Africa did not receive independence until the 1960s.
Matt Carberry floated last week that the issue may be related to the writers having to work remotely due to COVID-19, and the more I see things, the more I am tempted to agree with him. The writers have often talked about how important the collaborative process is to writing and fact-checking. This appears to have been another mistake that seems to have slipped through the cracks that would have been caught had all of the writers been in the same place. Again, though, this isn’t going to be good for the confidence of contestants going forward, if there are going to be mistakes such as this one in the clues.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- As this is always a point of confusion among viewers: Eric’s score was deducted $1,600 on the COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES $800 clue because you need to deduct $1,600 in order to go from +$800 to -$800 (correct to incorrect.)
- It would be helpful if, when Alex says “We’ll accept that” (like on RESTAURANT RHYME TIME $2000), that he actually says what the writers intended the correct response to be.
- As was mentioned above, because the Final Jeopardy! clue technically did not have a correct response, it would certainly be worth a protest by both of our nonwinning contestants.
