About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Wednesday, 1 November 2023
The U.S. presidential election of 2008 was unique because it was the first since 1952 in which neither the current president nor vice president was on the ballot. George W. Bush had reached the end of his term limits, and his vice president, Dick Cheney, chose not to run. In this election, Illinois Senator Barack Obama, a Democrat, triumphed over Arizona Senator John McCain, a Republican. Obama’s win was historic, making him the first African American to hold the highest office in the United States.

Final Jeopardy is the final round of the popular American television game show Jeopardy!, in which participants test their knowledge in numerous areas by answering questions. In Final Jeopardy, participants are given a single clue and must wager a percentage of their existing earnings based on their confidence in their ability to successfully respond.
Each contestant surreptitiously writes down their wager during the commercial break. The Final Jeopardy clue is presented when the programme resumes, and participants have 30 seconds to write down their solution in the form of a question (e.g., “What is…?”). When the timer runs out, the host, reveals each contestant’s response and wager in ascending order of their pre-Final Jeopardy scores. The scores of contestants are adjusted based on whether their response is correct or incorrect, as well as the amount wagered. At the end of the round, the contestant with the highest score is proclaimed the winner.
