Kevin became the new Jeopardy champion in the November 25 match despite not getting the right answer for Final Jeopardy. This is due to him being able to amass a large enough lead that no other contestant was able to catch him.
With $20,200 heading into the segment, Kevin only lost $5,000 after not being able to provide a response. He left with $15,200, enough for the victory.
Adam was the only one to get the Final Jeopardy clue correct and nearly doubled his total. He started with $7,200 but improved it with $7,100 with his wager, finishing with $14,300 for second place.
Unfortunately for Carolyn, she incorrectly guessed “A Passage to India.” This dropped her score from $5,600 by $5,300, so she ended in third place with $300.
Final Jeopardy Answer for November 25
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on November 25, 2024 is “What is Around the World in Eighty Days?'”
The novel “Around the World in Eighty Days” was written by Jules Verne and first published in French in 1872. The story begins with protagonist Phileas Fogg getting into an argument about an article in the newspaper that claims that someone can travel around the world in 80 days because of a railway in India. This leads him to accept a wager where he tries to do just that, circumvent the globe at a blistering pace (for that time period at least).
