Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Thursday, February 2, 2017:
Final Jeopardy! category: THE U.S.A.
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: The Empire State Building says that on a clear day you can see 5 states from the top: New York, New Jersey, Conn. & these 2
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Sean Dennison, a graduate student & teacher from Los Angeles, California
Warren Toland, a National Guard recruiter from Torrington, Connecticut
Lisa Schlitt, a microbiologist from Berwyn, Pennsylvania (4-day total: $85,000)
Lisa made it onto Page 1 of our ToC Tracker with her win yesterday. A win today will likely cement her spot in the next Tournament of Champions. Will it happen?

This page on the Empire State Building website is where you can find this information.
The southwest corner of Massachusetts is the part of the state closest to the Empire State Building, and it would be just on the horizon. I personally thought Delaware was the 5th, but its closest point is about 10 miles or so farther away than the closest point of Massachusetts.
From my own knowledge and what people have said in the past on #JeopardyLivePanel, it would not surprise me if the contestants today received a stern “Absolutely no shoutouts in Final Jeopardy! are permitted today” from the producers, as trying to decipher “HI MA & PA” (or other shoutouts that could be construed as state postal abbreviations) would be impossible.

†The judges ruled that Lisa’s response was not spelled out enough to be acceptable. It appeared to be squished on the right side of the screen and she appeared to have run out of room and/or time to complete her response.
