Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for August 13

Yogesh became the winner of the close match on August 13, narrowly beating out both Troy and Ben. Every player got the Final Jeopardy question correct, and now every contestant has won one game on their quest to become the champion.

Yogesh started with $29,600 before the final segment of the game. That was a high amount but it wasn’t enough to be more than twice the totals of his competitors, so it wasn’t a runaway match. He wagered $6,001 and came away with the win with $35,601.

Ben and Troy also gave a tough fight. Ben had $17,800 and wagered $12,601 for a grand total of $30,401 for second place. Troy also increased his total from $15,200 to $30,400, wagering his entire sum for essentially a true Daily Double. That said, he still ended up in third place.

Final Jeopardy Answer for August 13

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on August 13, 2024 is “What is Peru?”

This is one of those clues that is all about rote knowledge as there really is no extra hint here that will lead you to Peru. Surprisingly, all three contestants figured it out. The U.N. Secretary-General the clue is asking for is Javier Pérez de Cuéllar from Peru who held the position from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1991.

The diplomat also served as the President of the UN Security Council before that. He remains the only secretary-general from the Americas. The eight other U.N. Secretary-Generals have come from South Korea, Ghana, Egypt, Austria, Burma, Norway, and Sweden.
