It’s Wednesday, my friends! Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Countries of the World) for Wednesday, January 26, 2022 (Season 38, Game 98):
The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in an H, it’s also one of the 10 most populous
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago, Illinois
Janice Hawthorne Timm, a music educator & choral director from Ukiah, California
Amy Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, California (40-day total: $1,382,800)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Amy Schneider, yesterday, became only the second player in the history of Jeopardy! to win 40 games. She goes for number 41 today. As I mentioned on CBC Toronto yesterday, though, when your streak reaches these heights, it’s going to be a matter of “when does the unlucky set of circumstances strike?” Jeopardy! has variance baked into its format, especially due to the Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy. Ken, Matt, and James all had an unlucky set of circumstances (in some form or another) to cause their defeat. It’s going to happen at some point with Amy as well.
Today is also the eighth day of the JEOPARDY! Explore Alaska Sweepstakes. Winners will discover iconic, wild Alaska on an expedition aboard one of Lindblad’s 100-guest sister ships, National Geographic Quest or National Geographic Venture, accompanied by a team of naturalists, certified photo instructors, an undersea specialist and a wellness instructor.
To enter the JEOPARDY! Explore Alaska Sweepstakes, viewers are invited to tune-in to JEOPARDY! every weekday and enter the daily Final Jeopardy! category (today’s is Countries of the World) on the sweepstakes entry webpage, sweepstakes.jeopardy.com. Then, they will be entered for a chance to win an expedition for two exploring authentic Alaskan coastal wilderness from the unique vantage of a small ship. Each winner and their guest will receive round-trip coach-class air transportation from the winner’s closest major gateway airport, $1,000 US spending cash, as well as all shipboard accommodations, meals (excluding alcoholic beverages), and activities for travel valid in 2022 or 2023.
I would also like to remind the readers that the above information is provided in order to be helpful to readers. This is just a fan site; I have no way of troubleshooting any potential issues that may arise. One thing, though: you have to enter the category before 11:59 PM Pacific Time each day.
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 Bangladesh?
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.)
Bangladesh, located east of India, is the world’s 8th-most populous country. It’s also the most populous country in the world never to have won an Olympic medal. I think that this is a relatively straightforward clue for anyone who knows what the most populous countries in the world are; however, this is also a clue that could potentially trip someone up if they get lost trying to think of too many populous countries. It will be interesting to see how it plays.

Today’s interviews:
Rhone taught an online dating class for senior citizens at his library.
Janice owns a 1928 Steinway grand piano that was owned by a Nobel Prize winner.
Amy has been taught by her girlfriend Genevieve about pop culture.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Amy joins Matt Jackson, Seth Wilson, and Arthur Chu as the fourth player to win 10 or more games and lose on a Wednesday.
- $27,600 is the fifth-highest score going into Final Jeopardy! (since dollar values were doubled in 2001) that ended up not winning the game.
- Amy mentioned yesterday on Twitter that the lunch break at taping took place between yesterday’s and today’s games. I would hesitate to blame that for Amy’s defeat; 28 correct is still a very strong performance. Viewers are also reminded that, as I said this morning, variance is a thing very much baked into Jeopardy!’s format. It’s a game more like Scrabble than it is chess. Unlucky games can (and will) happen. And Amy just got unlucky today that Rhone found the last Daily Double before she did.
