Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category World Population) for Wednesday, November 10, 2021 (Season 38, Game 43):
This Asian nation is the world’s most populous country that lies mostly in the Southern Hemisphere
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California
Mary Kamela, a school librarian from Buffalo, New York
Dane Reighard, an editor from Los Angeles, California (2-day total: $34,799)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Dane Reighard has picked up two wins so far and almost $35,000. Will he get Win #3 today? I’ve yet to figure out his Final Jeopardy betting strategy so far (and I don’t think any other home viewers have either).
Meanwhile, I would like to say: I read an article yesterday in what I believed to be a reputable magazine—the publication was founded in the 1880s—that claims that Mayim Bialik was no longer going to be hosting syndicated episodes. That claim is 100% incorrect; even a cursory search of the Jeopardy! website itself would have immediately debunked that claim. To entertainment editors: If you feel you need the clickbait articles, fine. I get that. But to put outright incorrect information? That’s where I draw the line. You’re not a tabloid. Do better—you’re outright confusing and misinforming Jeopardy! fans—and I have to deal with the fallout when fans show up here confused a month from now.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is Indonesia?
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.)
At over 270 million, Indonesia is the world’s 4th-most populous country, and the most populous whose land is located mostly in the Southern Hemisphere. Brazil is the 6th-most populous overall and the second-most populous mostly-Southern Hemisphere country – the northern reaches of both Indonesia and Brazil do extend north of the Equator.
I know personally that geography is a strong point of mine, but I’m also at a loss to determine what any incorrect responses to this clue might be from a player. There aren’t that many Asian countries whose land is mostly south of the Equator in the first place, and certainly not any with any sort of population. I feel as though adding the continent nerfed this clue. On the flip side, this is the exact sort of clue that I talk about when it comes to “keeping the Final Jeopardy! wagers honest” (i.e. that there needs to be easy Final Jeopardy! clues in order to prevent players from betting too conservatively as a rule). Considering Dane’s choice on Monday not to bet to completely cover second place, this is the sort of clue that could prove to be his undoing—especially if a more strategically minded player took note of what happened.

Today’s interviews:
Andrew lived downstairs from the cofounder of Instagram as a sophomore.
Mary had a first word of “Book”.
Dane had a yacht party for his 30th birthday; him and his friends got seasick.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Andrew’s score today is the 43rd-best one-day total on the show, and the highest amount ever won in a player’s first win. The previous first-win record of $50,000 was set by Myron Meyer on September 5, 2002.
- $26,000 is the second-highest non-leading score going into Final Jeopardy! in the history of the show, behind only Adam Levin on April 29, 2019.
