Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for January 28

In a tightly contested game, Amy emerged victorious on January 28 due to a cautious wager. Yet, unfortunately, no contestant managed to answer the Final Jeopardy question correctly once more.

As a fervent supporter, I found myself in possession of $6,600, just needing an additional $600 to take the lead. Feeling daring, I opted for a modest wager, counting on David to place a larger one. Turns out, my gamble paid off! My selected number “1/17/1717” was nearly spot-on, but it ended up costing me $199. Nevertheless, the remaining $6,401 was more than enough for me to clinch the victory.

I began with a stack of $7,200 as a gamer, but unfortunately, my response of “1/12/17” (which, alas, wasn’t a palindrome) cost me a hefty sum of $6,001. Leaving the competition in second place with only $1,199 left to show for it.

On January 17th, 1771, Grant attempted something using $3,200. However, he made an error and ended up losing $2,801. Moreover, the result wasn’t a palindrome. In the end, his total of $399 placed him in third position.

Final Jeopardy Answer for January 28

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on January 28, 2025 is “What is 7/17/1717?”

The Tournament of Champions has become significantly more challenging this time around. To pinpoint the date, one must remember that Handel’s “Water Music” was created in 1717. This composition was designed for King George I who requested a performance on the River Thames. By understanding the concept of palindromic dates, contestants should be able to find the specific date of July 17th, 1717 (without the zeros). However, it’s possible that a player might guess a different year entirely.
