[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Final Jeopardy! Correct Response/Question’]What is “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea”?[/spoiler]
Jules Verne’s famous novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea: A Tour of the Underwater World, first serialized in March 1869 through June 1870 in the Magasin d’Éducation et de Récréation, featured Captain Nemo (Latin for “no one”) piloting the Nautilus (Greek for “sailor”). The book’s title refers to the distance traveled while in the Nautilus, not the depths to which the ship travelled, as 20,000 leagues (using the French metric league definition of 4 kilometers, not 3 nautical miles) would be six times the diameter of the Earth.

If Anand wins all week, we’ll see him in next year’s Tournament of Champions.
Anand should win 5 games at least. He is a strong player.
On this day the closing conversation had Alex joining the contestants as they stayed behind the podiums. Very unusual.

It’s been happening since October 9.
What a shameful leap to make for a female contestant, Al.
You’re right, Elle, and I apologize to you for keeping that part of his comment online when it was clearly against the Site Comment Policy.
