ANSWER: Lesotho
About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Wednesday, 5 July 2023
The country of Lesotho is known as the “Kingdom in the Sky.” What sets it apart is its geographical uniqueness – it’s the only country globally where the entire land area is situated more than 4,000 feet above sea level. This altitude is due to its location within the Drakensberg and Maloti mountain ranges. Notably, the country’s lowest elevation is still an impressive 1,400 meters, which is the highest low point of any nation in the world.
Located within the tropical latitudes, Lesotho’s altitude results in a temperate climate. Despite its tropical position, it experiences cool winters and warm summers, with its higher areas even seeing regular snowfall.

Final Jeopardy Video – Wednesday, 5 July 2023
Watch all the videos from today’s Jeopardy episode below, including highlights, behind the scenes outtakes and full episodes.
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.
