Correct response: What is Liberia?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Liberia was a 19th-century settlement of the American Colonization Society, who felt that African-Americans would have a better chance at prosperity in Africa; over 15,000 freed slaves and free-born blacks relocated there. Independence was proclaimed in the 1840s, and the first Liberian president not born in the United States was Hilary R. W. Johnson, one of many True Whig presidents; the True Whigs held power from 1878 until a coup d’etat staged by Samuel Doe in 1980.

Ryan will win the tournament. I picked him to win on the very first day, he is very smart, as are all of the teens but he is also very calm, doesn’t panic and knows how to wager. It was tempting to go all in on his final jeopardy question like his two opponents but he made sure to keep some money just in case! Well done, Ryan!
No Andy’s thoughts? I thought this was a particularly tough game.
