Jeopardy! is all set for a new encore episode on August 10, 2022. After the show's latest season concluded a few weeks ago, the network began airing reruns of the intriguing 38th season to fill the gap until a new season arrives. Those who follow the show may already be aware of how magnificent the previous season was, owing to some legendary competitors like Matt Amodio, Amy Schnieder, and Mattea Roach.

In the upcoming encore episode, two-day champion Dane Reighard, who has had a brilliant run till now, faces off against school librarian Mary Kamela and software developer Andrew He. This is one of the most popular episodes of the season.

Jeopardy! originally began airing in 1964 and has aired 38 seasons since then, maintaining its consistently engaging nature and offbeat format. Over the course of time, the show has also created a loyal fanbase across the world. The three-player trivia-based game has become a household name in the past few years, with most of the credit going to the extremely engaging final round.

The final round of Jeopardy! features an unusual format that allows viewers to participate from the comfort of their homes. Viewers usually do this by guessing the correct answer to the final round ahead of the episode's airtime. However, this can often become complicated for casual viewers as the categories keep varying in each episode. That's where we come in. We have compiled all the relevant details from the upcoming episode of the show below, including the solution to the final question.

"This Asian nation is the world’s most populous country that lies mostly in the Southern Hemisphere."

In the final round, participants will be provided with the question and will have to figure out the solution. This can often be a real test of calm-mindedness.
