Final Jeopardy Answer for February 3
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on February 3, 2025 is “What is Krakatoa?”
Hopefully, it will be enough of a hint in the clue with “1883” and the category being “Places of Disaster” for contestants to think about the Krakatoa volcano explosion. We’re not sure what this “old sailor” tale is all about, but it’s meant to be a clue that the answer has unusual syllables in it. Indonesians call Krakatoa “Krakatau” and its explosion is said to have been heard almost 2000 miles away and caused the deaths of at least 36,000 people.
