Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for September 17
Aiden became a two-day champion after getting the right response to Final Jeopardy over Will, who had the lead heading into the segment.
In second place with $11,000, Aiden doubled his money with his wager and ended up in first place with $22,000.
Will had $13,200, but came up with “Harry Potter” as an incorrect response. This lost him a wagered $8,801 and he finished in third place. Meanwhile, Alisa also doubled her initial total of $5,400, pulling her into third place with $10,800.
Final Jeopardy Answer for September 17
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 17, 2024 is “Who is Percy Jackson?”
The clue refers not to Harry Potter, which does involve some “half-bloods,” but to the book series Percy Jackson & the Olympians written by Rick Riordan. In the book, Percy is a demigod, the offspring of the Greek god Poseidon and a mortal Sally Jackson (which is not uncommon for Greek gods, really).
He starts the series as a 12 year old, as the clue states, and has ADHD and dyslexia supposedly due to being able to read Ancient Greek and having battlefield reflexes. Through the series, he eventually becomes a head counselor for a demigod summer camp called Camp Half-Blood. The seventh installment of the series called Wrath of the Triple Goddess is scheduled to release on September 24, 2024.
