More information about Final Jeopardy:

Guayllabamba is located about 18 miles northeast of Quito (Ecuador’s capital) and is slightly south of the Equator. Interestingly, there are competing monuments on or near the Equator; the heavily-promoted Mitad del Mundo monument is not actually on the Equator – a result of a French surveying error. The actual equator is at the Museo de Sitio Intañan.
