Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Geographic Namesakes) for Tuesday, February 16, 2021 (Season 37, Game 102):
In 1857 the former Surveyor-General of India objected to giving his name to this landmark as “the natives could not pronounce” it
(correct response beneath the contestants)
The Jeopardy! community is mourning the loss of Brayden Smith, who passed away on February 5. The Brayden Smith Memorial Fund has been established, dedicated to furthering the educational aspirations of Southern Nevada students.
Today’s contestants:
Pam Sung, a physician & scientist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Joe Satran, a writer originally from Montclair, New Jersey
Phil Hoffman, a graduate student originally from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey (1-day total: $14,195)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Phil proved yesterday that aggressive Daily Double wagering can work out for you even if you aren’t correct – he lost three-quarters of his score midway through Double Jeopardy and still came back to take victory. If the Daily Doubles work out better for him today, he should be able to outperform the prediction model. If not, Pam and Joe will both want to claim the title of Jeopardy! champion.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to abide by physical distancing guidelines and when you are not able to do so, properly wear a mask. Ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is Mt. Everest?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
George Everest never set eyes on the mountain that now bears his name—the highest above sea level on Earth. Additionally, the English in the 1850s were unable to ascertain any native name for the mountain, as any locals close enough to the mountain were inaccessible to them—Nepal and Tibet were both closed to the British at that time. Everest—whose actual name was pronounced EEV-rest and not EV-ER-ist—objected, believing his name was not writable or pronounceable in Hindi.
In Tibet, Mount Everest is known as Qomolangma (“Holy Mother”); in the 1960s, Nepal’s government coined the name “Sagarmatha” to refer to both the mountain and the National Park in which it is situated.
