[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Final Jeopardy! Correct Response/Question’]What is New Orleans?[/spoiler]
2005 saw many people leave New Orleans due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina; however, it has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States since 2010, and has since re-entered the Top 50 most populous cities in the United States.

Anytime a major event is tied to 2005, I always think of New Orleans. I hope the players all get this right.
Congratulations, David!
And congrats to everyone who participated. You all played great.
Funny how things sometimes play out: the player who had the highest 2 day total after the 2 Fjs, (28.220) won the tournament, the player who was second after 2 FJs (26.880) finished second and the one with the smallest total after 2 days (20.800)finished third.
A finish by the book, one might say. We have seen some weird second days in tournaments (e.g. when the one who was a distant third after day one won the whole thing by a country mile.)
Congratulations to all player, especially David who was the only player to get both FJs right.
Have a nice weekend everybody. Back to business as usual on Monday. Aloha!
David Clemmons kinda plays like Philip Tiu.
Does anyone know how to find what the catagories were in the first round of jeapordy were tonight?
