Final Jeopardy Question for January 31
The Final Jeopardy question for January 31, 2025 is in the category of “U.S. Latin Names” and has the following clue:
Before 1867, this city that lends its name to a type of tree was known as Novo Arkhangelsk
To give you time to figure this out, the correct answer for this clue has been placed at the bottom of this guide.
Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for January 31
Mark came away with the win in the January 31 match to become the fifth semifinalist for the tournament. As we suspected, no one got the right answer for Final Jeopardy.
Coming in with the lead, Mark had $16,400 but guessed wrong with “Newport” and lost $4,401. He still finished in first, though, with $11,999.
Allison wasn’t close behind Mark with $10,400. However, her answer of “Palm Sp” was also wrong. Her score dropped by $2,001 and she left in second with $8,399.
Kevin tried to make up ground by betting $6,199 of his $6,200 total. Unfortunately, his guess of “Juneau” left him with just a $1.
Final Jeopardy Answer for January 31
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on January 31, 2025 is “What is Sitka, Alaska?”
The hints in this clue are not to difficult to follow. The name of the city “Novo Arkhangelsk” is in Russian and means “New Archangel,” the year that its name changed was before 1867, and the category says that this city is in the United States.
That all points to some city in Alaska, though that might still not be enough information for people to guess Sitka, which is not a well-known city in the state. Maybe the fact that the sitka spruce is a type of tree will help here, but there are many other cities named after trees so it’s not exactly that helpful.
