That’s a brilliant Final Jeopardy clue. What a great example of why I enjoy this show. Trivia which is both interesting, and worth knowing.
Superior game design by the “Jeopardy!” clue designers, along with Alex Trebek’s exceptionally skilled hosting, is what sets the show so high above the lazy typical bar trivia which I find so dull and uninteresting.
