Final Jeopardy Answer for February 10

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on February 10, 2025 is “What is Pyrrhus?”

The Battle of Asculum took place in 279 BC between the Roman Republic and King Pyrrhus of Epirus. It is known as the original “Pyrrhic victory,” which refers to a type of victory where the costs of winning it is too great to justify. The king managed to win against the Romans but lost around 3,500 men. According to an account by Plutarch, Pyrrhus said, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.”

Robert E. Lee’s victory at Chancellorsville during the Civil War cost him too many regimental and brigade commanders, to the point that it significantly destabilized its army moving forward.
