Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for January 14
With a runaway lead, Evan became the winner of the January 14 match. No contestant was able to get the Final Jeopardy clue correct.
After answering many clues correctly in the second found, Evan amassed $20,600, which was enough over his two competitors to come away with the win. He risked $0 and lost nothing with his answer of “Vietnam” and became an instant semi-finalist.
Stevie had $7,000 and wagered $1,801, which he lost with his guess of “Ireland.” His total of $5,199 is quite low, and it doesn’t look it will hold up by the end of this tournament.
On that front, Davey had $8,800 but he risked it all with his guess of “Iran.” He finished with $0, which almost certainly puts him out of the running.
Final Jeopardy Answer for January 14
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on January 14, 2025 is “What is Egypt?”
The national anthem of Egypt is “Laki ḥobbi wa fuâdy,” which translates from Arabic as “My homeland, you have my love and my heart.” But it’s also known as “Bilady, Bilady, Bilady,” which was adopted in 1979 and composed by Sayed Darwish, who is recognized as one of Egypt’s most popular musicians. The lyrics, particularly the chorus, is inspired by one of the speeches of Mustafa Kamel Pasha, an Egyptian playwright.
The famous event in 1979 that brought upon this change of the national anthem was the signing of the Camp David Accords between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The peace treaty was signed in Washington, D.C. on March 26 and witnessed by Jimmy Carter.
