Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy for Wednesday, October 12, 2016:
Final Jeopardy! category: STATE SONGS
Final Jeopardy! clue: The first line of its state song, “Eight stars of gold on a field of blue”, refers to the star group on its flag
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Susan Cole, a legislative librarian from Bowie, Maryland
Russ Williams, a retired Army officer from Alexandria, Virginia
Pidge Meade, a technical writer and actress from Pacifica, California (2-day total: $31,001)
What is Alaska?
In case you missed Monday’s game, Pidge’s interview that day was about how she got her name: Pidge’s mother asked her local bridge-playing friends for naming advice, all of whom wanted Pidge named after them. So, Pidge’s mother took the first initial of everyone’s name and turned into an acronym for her name!
Here, of course, is Alaska’s flag:
The Alaska state website has the full lyrics, and sheet music, to the state song.
Remember, you can also now get the following t-shirts (and others!) from our new store!
