Final Jeopardy! clue: This 1400-square-mile tourist destination’s name comes from a Latin word for “greater”
[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Correct Response’]What is Majorca?[/spoiler]
Jill 9400 + 6402 = 15802
Rebecca 12800 – 7200 = 5600 (Sardinia)
Chris 15800 + 10000 = 25800
Chris spelled his answer with LL instead of a J. No problem there; they’d be pronounced the same way in Spanish! Means that Chris is the champ and he’ll be back tomorrow!

Some of my atlases call it Majorca, and some Mallorca, so I’m glad they accepted both.
