Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Countries) for Wednesday, November 6, 2024 (Season 41, Game 43):

This country has the most time zones in the world, including its territories in South America & off the coast of Africa

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Adrienne Clermont, an ER doctor originally from Ithaca, New York

Derek Hieronymus, a sales director from Hutto, Texas

Greg Jolin, a system specialist & accountant from Raymond, New Hampshire (4-day total: $110,402)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

In a game that many of you may have missed yesterday, Greg Jolin picked up another 27 correct responses over the first two rounds in a very decisive victory worth over $35,000 to him. Yesterday, he became the 463^rd player to win at least 4 games of regular Jeopardy! play. Today, Derek Hieronymous and Adrienne Clermont are going to try to stop Greg from becoming the 281^st player to win at least 5.

Am I worried about the future of Jeopardy! this morning? No. For my reasoning as to why, I would like to quote Juvenal’s Satire X: “…for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.” And I believe that Jeopardy! is too important to the collective entertainment of America for it not to continue. And, as long as it continues, people will miss some of it and want to know what happened.

Correct response: What is France?

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.)

As a result of its numerous overseas territories, including French Polynesia, French Guiana, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Réunion, France has 12 different time zones. Curiously, when one travels west from the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, one must set their clock forward 30 minutes (instead of back, which is what one might expect when traveling westward across a time zone boundary). Russia and the United States both span 11 different time zones.

Today seems like another relatively straightforward Final Jeopardy clue—especially when one considers the clues of “territories in South America & off the coast of Africa”. The fact that French Guiana is still a French territory has been a commonly asked fact over the years on the show, and remembering that should make for an easy path to the correct response.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, November 6, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Friends Of John Brown; The TV Show In Question; Directions To The Landmark; My Cherry Amour; Also Found In The Bathroom; Compound Words)

Although he had a couple of incorrect responses, and a minor clue selection misstep, going to the first row for the first time in his run, Greg still led at the first commercial. At the round’s midpoint, he had $3,800 to Derek’s $3,000 and Adrienne’s $1,000.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Greg 7 correct 2 incorrect
Derek 5 correct 0 incorrect
Adrienne 2 correct 0 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Adrienne thinks her parents wanted a boy as her names as male names feminized.
Derek set his microwave on fire while trying to cook macaroni & cheese without water.
Greg chickened out of his marriage proposal the first time.

Derek took the lead briefly, but a missed Daily Double left him in second place after 30 clues.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Greg 12 correct 3 incorrect
Derek 11 correct 2 incorrect
Adrienne 4 correct 0 incorrect

Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:

Greg $5,800
Derek $3,400
Adrienne $1,800

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: You Have A Serious Beatitude; Shades Of Blue; Ordinal Phrases; World War II Fiction; All The Light We Can See; Catch, 22)

A few days ago, I said that Greg was better at Jeopardy than most of his challengers were. That was incredibly evident in this round. Both Derek and Adrienne did not go all-in on Daily Doubles, when having done so would have likely prevented Greg from taking a guess on the last clue of Double Jeopardy. As it was, Greg’s correct $2,000 guess on the round’s final clue cemented a runaway game by $200 going into Final.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Greg 28 correct 3 incorrect
Adrienne 11 correct 0 incorrect
Derek 16 correct 2 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 5 (0 today).

Scores going into Final:

Greg $24,600
Adrienne $12,200
Derek $10,600

Everyone got Final Jeopardy correct; Greg is now a 5-time champion! He’ll go for win #6 tomorrow.

Tonight’s results:

Derek $10,600 + $1,601 = $12,201 (What is France?)
Adrienne $12,200 + $9,001 = $21,201 (What is France?)
Greg $24,600 + $0 = $24,600 (What is France) (5-day total: $135,002)

Andy’s Thoughts:

• With how he’s been playing overall, I think we have to call Greg the favorite for the upcoming Tournament of Champions.
• As a strategy idea, especially as it relates to Derek’s bet on the first Daily Double in this game, I think it puts you into a negative frame of mind if you bet to fall to a round number if you’re incorrect. Bet for a number if you’re right instead!
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Greg $24,600 Adrienne $12,200 Derek $10,600)

Greg: Bet no more than $199 and enjoy your fifth win! (Actual bet: $0)

Derek: Bet between $3,201 and $7,399 and hope for an incorrect response from Adrienne. (Actual bet: $1,601)

Adrienne: Standard cover bet over Derek is $9,001. (Actual bet: $9,001)
