Sadly, Dhruv wasn’t able to get the correct answer, so while he had $14,400, his risked $8,401 put him in third place with $5,999.
Final Jeopardy Answer for August 28
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on August 28, 2024 is “What is Uzbekistan?”
Knowing which countries were formed after the U.S.S.R. broke up certainly helps here, but working out which countries are in the region will also assist in working out the right answer. Ukraine might trip some people up, as Dhruv answered that, but hopefully viewers will remember Uzbekistan as well.
