Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Countries of the World) for Tuesday, January 14, 2025 (Season 41, Game 92):

“Bilady, Bilady, Bilady”, its national anthem, replaced a more militaristic one following a 1979 peace treaty

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Evan Dorey, a data analytics director from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Stevie Ruiz, an assistant front office manger from Montauk, New York

Davey Morrison, an actor & filmmaker from Provo, Utah

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Today is Day 2 of Winter 2025′ Champions Wildcard, with Davey Morrison, Stevie Ruiz, and Evan Dorey returning to the Alex Trebek Stage. Davey and Stevie won twice recently, while Evan was a high-scoring one-day winner.

For the newer diehard fans who don’t remember how this format has worked in the past (as it’s been just over three years since it’s been used by the show), the five winners this week are joined in the semifinals by the highest-scoring non-winners. So that the players playing at the end of the week don’t have in advantage, they have been sequestered so they don’t know what the scores of the previous games are. Thus, Davey, Stevie, and Evan have no idea that in yesterday’s game, Jen Feldman scored $8,200 and Paul Clauson $8,000.

Correct response: What is Egypt?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

“Bilady, Bilady, Bilady” has served as the National Anthem of Egypt since 1979, following the Egypt–Israel peace treaty, signed on March 26, 1979. It replaced the more militaristic “Walla Zaman Ya Selahy”, which had gained popularity in the country after Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal.

Remembering that the Egypt–Israel peace treaty took place in 1979, following the Camp David Accords the previous year, is probably the easiest way to get this clue correct. Interestingly, the death of Jimmy Carter between the taping and airing of this clue might actually make this clue easier, as Carter brokered the peace talks between Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Menachem Begin.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• I have zero issue with Davey’s Final Jeopardy wagering choice. It’s clear he thought that with where his score was that he needed to be correct in Final Jeopardy to advance—and that is a very fair assessment of the situation, in my opinion. And I can never fault a player for going all in when you think an incorrect response eliminates you.
• Why does Davey have a greater-than-zero chance of advancing with $0? Because there is a very minuscule chance of every remaining player finishing with $0 (or less) and losing the tiebreaker (money going into Final Jeopardy), therefore giving Davey the fourth spot. $0 has also advanced as a wild card score in the past (the 2003 Tournament of Champions).
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
