Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Ancient World) for Tuesday, January 9, 2024 (Season 40, Game 87):
This text helped the soul, or ka, navigate a journey into a region called Amenti
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Pam Warren, a high school science teacher from Petersburg, Illinois
April Marquet, a digital production artist from Oakland, California
Rotimi Kukoyi, a health policy & management student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill from Hoover, Alabama
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
We are three weeks done the Winter 2024 Second Chance competition; Week 4 opens with Rotimi Kukoyi, April Marquet, and Pam Warren. Rotimi was one of three players unable to take part in last season’s High School Reunion Tournament, while April and Pam both came incredibly close to winning in their own right back in September 2022. This should be an interesting matchup; after how well Sophia Weng played last week, it would be a mistake to discount Rotimi’s chances whatsoever.
In case you’ve forgotten, tonight is also the night of the second semifinal of this year’s Celebrity Jeopardy event; tonight’s game is between Steven Weber (Wings), sports commentator Katie Nolan, and Dulé Hill (ABC’s The Wonder Years.) That airs at 8:00 (7:00 Central) on ABC in the United States and CTV in Canada!

Correct response: What is The Book of the Dead?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The Book of the Dead is a famous Egyptian religious text; it was generally used to assist the deceased’s journey into the Egyptian afterlife. In use for about 1,500 years, it was compiled over the course of a millennium by numerous priests.
I just want to mention that a Final Jeopardy clue like this is very often overlooked by those who want to criticize the show for asking about the Bible at the expense of other religions and mythologies. This is definitely a non-Judeo-Christian world religion/mythology clue that is often completely forgotten by those who just want to post trolling online threads criticizing the show’s writing.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, January 9, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: “F” In Geography; Sports Takes; College Prep; 3 Of The Same Letter; A Recipe For…; Disaster)
All three players got off to a great start, with Pam leading after 15 clues after she picked up the Daily Double on the game’s second clue! All three players played well as well in the second half of the round; everyone was within $1,200 after 30 clues.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Pam 4 correct 0 incorrect
April 4 correct 1 incorrect
Rotimi 5 correct 2 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Fictional Characters’ Occupations; In My Art Deco Era; U.S. Nobel Peace Prize Winners; 4-Letter Fish; Women Of Country Music; Waterlogged Words)
Rotimi knew what he was doing—he found the first Daily Double and doubled up through it! Pam got to the last one relatively late in the round, and an incorrect response put her into third place going into Final. Meanwhile, April played well enough in the round overall to catch Rotimi; she held a slim $600 lead going into Final!

April 13 correct 2 incorrect
Rotimi 15 correct 6 incorrect
Pam 18 correct 3 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 0 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:

Rotimi $9,600
Pam $8,000
Pam and Rotimi were both correct in Final; unfortunately for April, she was not. That puts Rotimi through to the week’s final!
Tonight’s results:
Pam $8,000 + $8,000 = $16,000 (What is the Book of the Dead?)
Rotimi $9,600 + $6,401 = $16,001 (What is the Book of the Dead? Thank you Alex :)) (Finalist)
April $10,200 – $9,001 = $1,199 (What is the Bhagavad Gita?)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- One person online recently called a sort of middle “too big for the small range, too small for the big range” Daily Double bet “neither fish nor fowl”, and I think that’s apt. I also thought Pam’s Daily Double bet fit that. If she was going to go big, it needed to be bigger, to give her the best chance at a runaway, and if she was going to go small, it needed be smaller, to have a better chance of still leading going into Final.
Today’s box score: January 9, 2024 Box Score.
