Correct response: What is the Korean Demilitarized Zone?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Established as part of the Korean Armistice Agreement in 1953 following the Korean War, the Korean Demilitarized Zone divides North Korea from South Korea; both sides agreed to move their troops back 1.2 miles from the front line. Due to it being generally unsafe for human habitation (because of the ongoing tensions between the two countries since 1953), it has turned into one of the world’s most well-preserved temperate habitats. However, North Korea has generally opposed turning the area into an official UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (North Korea feels that doing so would violate the Armistice Agreement).
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, nearly $500 has been raised.)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I’m glad the judges accepted just “What is the DMZ?” from Travis. Lengthy responses always bother me.

Fortunately here the Iowa caucus is covered on CNN and not on CBS (the J! channel) or ABC,FOX or NBC either. I really couldn’t care less about a caucus in FEBRUARY!
Congratulations to yet a new champ! And we are closing in on 2 clues left per game….
And only 10 TS instead of 13 on Friday.👩🎓👨🎓
that’s a tough FJ…….. great question though 🙂 …. i didn’t get it… the thinness of the area made me think of a coastline, like UAE.
For me the year was the “lightbulb”. Watched all the MAS*H episodes….
