About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Thursday, 15 February 2024
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, features a span of 630 feet between its legs at the base, equal to its height, making the monument as tall as it is wide. Completed in 1965, the arch was a collaborative design effort by architect Eero Saarinen and engineer Hannskarl Bandel. It serves as a commemorative symbol of St. Louis’s historical significance as a gateway for early settlers and explorers during America’s westward expansion. The arch’s distinctive catenary curve shape and its symmetrical dimensions are engineering marvels, establishing it as a notable American icon.

Final Jeopardy Video – Thursday, 15 February 2024
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.
