Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for September 11
Will managed to win a second game after, once again, having a commanding lead heading into Final Jeopardy on September 11. That said, no one was able to come up with the right response, with many guessing that the right answer was the border between Russia and China.
With $13,600 before Final Jeopardy, Will didn’t need to risk anything because the contestant in second place only had $5,000. Thus, he didn’t wager anything and remained in first place.
Meanwhile, Ben had $5,000 and risked $3,801 on his wager. He left in second place with $1,199 total after guessing Chile and Argentina. Kristen was close to Ben with $4,400, but she risked everything with her answer and finished in third place with $0.
Final Jeopardy Answer for September 11
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 11, 2024 is “What are Kazakhstan and Russia?”
Working out that Russia is likely one of the countries with a long border is likely easy, but figuring out which of its border countries is the other answer might be tough. China might be the first candidate, but Mongolia breaks up the border between those two countries.
Canada and the United States have a border that stretches 8,893 kilometers, whereas the border between Russia and Kazakhstan is about 7,644 kilometers (perhaps longer depending on different estimates). The next three are the Argentina-Chile border at 6,691 km, China-Mongolia border at 4,630 km, and Bangladesh-India border at 4,142 km. The China-Russia border is actually sixth at 4,133 km.
