More information about Final Jeopardy:

In order to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ 1492 voyage to the Americas, both Genoa (Columbus’ birthplace) and Seville (the port city where his three ships launched from) held expositions. Seville’s exposition was the much larger of the two, seeing over 40 million visitors to its 531-acre exposition site, while Genoa’s mayor ended up resigning over the exposition after attendance and revenue figures were overstated.
