Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for August 7
The August 7 episode was a runaway game with the episode’s winner, Yogesh, not needing to answer the Final Jeopardy question correctly at all. But he did, anyway, making him the semi-finalist in the Tournament of Champions.
Yogesh had $21,400 coming into Final Jeopardy and didn’t wager anything. This left him with the same total. Both David and Emily had the same guess but were ultimately incorrect. David began with $6,200, but left with $2,479 in third place after losing $3,721 on his wager. Starting with $6,800, Emily played it safer with a $0 bid, thereby landing in second place.
Final Jeopardy Answer for August 7
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on August 7, 2024 is “What is Ephesus?”
The clue refers to a letter addressed by Paul to Christians in Ephesus, which is where the apostle labored for two to three years. That might be difficult piece of trivia for most, especially for those who don’t know that much about the New Testament.
That said, it will likely be easier for people to know about Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors”, which takes place in the Greek city of Ephesus. The play is a farcical comedy that features a lot of puns, wordplay, and slapstick. It tells a story about identical twins who are separated at birth, leading to many incidents of mistaken identity by both of their families and friends.
