Meanwhile, Paul also got the right answer, doubling from $4,000 to $8,000. That was only good enough for third place, though. It will be tough for Jen and Paul to make it through as a wild card.
Final Jeopardy Answer for January 13
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on January 13, 2025 is “What is a sovereign?”
This shouldn’t be too difficult of a clue given that a “sovereign” is another word for a coin. If you’ve played various video games, like Skull and Bones or Ultima Online, you might know this offhand. More likely, those more historically astute will know that the sovereign was minted in 1489 by King Henry VII and had a nominal value of one pound sterling. Its name comes from its large size with an engraved picture of the monarch on the front, with the first sovereigns made out of 23-carat gold.
