Correct response: What is Victoria Falls?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
David Livingstone wrote of his sighting of Victoria Falls on the upper Zambezi River in his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa. Interestingly, Livingstone underestimated his descriptions of Victoria Falls in the work, estimating the river as a thousand yards across at the falls with a drop of 100 feet; in actuality, the Zambezi River is about a mile wide at the top of the falls, with a drop of about 350 feet. Today, the falls sit on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

We start the finale week with a triple stumper.
Loved the way Jason tactically went to the lower value clues when he got the big lead and Alex said less than a minute. Not everybody tries to run out the clock like that. You don’t know how many of the remaining clues you will get to, and it makes sense not to give your opponents a chance at the higher value ones if you can.
Was it my imagination or was there a typo in the clue about Julie Andrews? I’m fairly certain the clue read in part, “… I was to pretty…”
No, there was definitely a typo in the clue.
Andy: I’m sure the first in on buzzer % for James is incorrect.
I made a typo. Corrected. Thank you, Harris!
