Final Jeopardy! results today
The final question of the May 4 episode of Jeopardy! was under the category "Bodies of Water" and the final clue read:
"Formed some 10,000-15,000 years ago & with an average depth of only about 150 feet, it’s named for a man who sailed through it in 1728."
The correct answer to the question was “What is the Bering Strait?” Hannah and Marie respectively earned $10,000 and $2,601 after giving the correct response. Warren bet $4,500 against the incorrect response Cook Starit.
The final results of the game were:
Hannah Wilson: $35,200 + $10,000 = $45,200 (What is the Bering Strait?) (2-day total: $71,000)
Claude Dussault: $5,600 + $2,601 = $8,201 (What is the Bering Strait?)
Warren Grace: $4,600 – $4,500 = $100 (What is the Cook Strait?)
As a two-day winner, Hannah will compete with new players in the upcoming episodes to defend her title. She will be able to compete the Tournament of Champions if she wins three more games.
