Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for August 15
Interestingly, Yogesh, the contestant who didn’t get the right response for Final Jeopardy was the ultimate victor. Due to his performance during the match, particularly the second round, Yogesh had more than double the cash total than his competitors, making it a runaway game for him.
Yogesh started with a whopping $38,800 heading into Final Jeopardy, mainly due to his risky true Daily Double. So though he didn’t come up with the correct answer, he didn’t have to risk anything and ultimately won the game.
Meanwhile, Ben had $9,200 and wagered $7,601 for a total of $16,801 to put him into second place. Troy had $16,800 and risked little, just $1,601. This put him in third place with $18,401.
Final Jeopardy Answer for August 15
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on August 15, 2024 is “What is Yerevan?”
It’s interesting that the category for this final clue is “Eurasia,” but we suppose that the question-makers didn’t want the answer to be that easy by narrowing the potential list of countries too much. At any rate, Yerevan is the capital of Armenia.
The ‘V’ in the clue will most likely be the most helpful hint here, as the contestants think about all of the capitals on both continents. Those who know about Zvarnots Cathedral as a landmark and that this circular 7th-century structure is in Armenia will help lead them to the right answer too.
