Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Constitutions of the World) for Thursday, May 12, 2022 (Season 38, Game 174):
Amendments to its 1901 constitution require approval of at least 4 states before receiving Royal Assent
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Charly Kuecks, a writer & test prep expert from Salt Lake City, Utah
Matt Petroff, a management consultant from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Daniel Nguyen, a high school math teacher from San Jose, California (1-day total: $7,199)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: San Jose math teacher Daniel Nguyen took advantage of a strong position going into Final Jeopardy! to win through a Triple Stumper; he goes for victory number 2 today against Salt Lake City’s Charly Kuecks and Toronto’s Matt Petroff.
The issues with the Jeopardy! website continue; a Clue of the Day has not appeared on the website in over a week.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is Australia?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Australia obtained independence from the United Kingdom when the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 entered into force on January 1, 1901; the constitution may only be amended via referendum where a double majority is required—a majority of voters nationwide and a majority of voters in at least 4 of the 6 states.
This one might play slightly easier for a Canadian, as the clue uses Commonwealth terms (Royal Assent, for example) but clearly does not refer to Canada.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: In the National Park; The Billboard Music Awards; Native American Women; Beverages; Subtitled Nonfiction; Occupational Homonyms
The opening 15 clues belonged to Daniel and Matt, with Daniel picking up the Daily Double to jump out to a small lead. Matt struggled after the first break, though, whereas Daniel consolidated his lead.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: All Apologies; Musicals by Lyrics; 4-Syllable Words; The 1960s; Auntie; Establishment
Daniel continued his strong play in Double Jeopardy!, even though he dropped both Daily Doubles. The second Daily Double was very hard to find, with Charly hopping all over for it during a late-game comeback in order to try to break Daniel’s runaway. Unfortunately for Charly, Daniel got clue #29 correct—and was rewarded with the Daily Double on Clue 30. Scores going into Final were Daniel at $18,000, Charly at $7,600, and Matt at $200—Matt struggled heavily on the signalling device, even getting beaten in on the buzzer on a clue about the Northwest Territories. (It was a bit of a negative turning poing for Matt, as well, with Matt nearly falling into the red in the aftermath).
Both Daniel and Matt got Final correct, but Daniel stood pat and became a 2-day champion! He’ll go for win #3 tomorrow!
