Correct response: What is St. Augustine, Florida?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Founded by the Spanish in 1565, St. Augustine, Florida claims to be the oldest city in the United States. After Hurricane Matthew hit in 2016, a local wine shop sustained damage and decided to undergo renovations. During the renovations, the building’s owner offered the city archaeologist a chance to look under his shop, where the skeletal remains of a number of early inhabitants of St. Augustine were found. It was surmised that the burial occurred there because a Catholic church had been located on the site in the 16th century.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $440 has been raised.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- In yesterday’s comment section, Eric noted that he was hoping for Robin to not bet to cover. Looks like he was a day off in his hope.
- An astute opponent in the audience might note Robin’s gambit here and adjust their betting strategy accordingly. This might work in Robin’s favor going forward.
