Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Official Languages) for Thursday, November 4, 2021 (Season 38, Game 39):
It’s the only U.N. member state outside Europe with Dutch as an official language
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Sri Kompella, a corporate strategy professional from Frisco, Texas
Cindy Zhang, a user experience designer from New York, New York
Tony Freitas, a project director from Los Angeles, California (1-day total: $16,200)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Assisted by a Final Jeopardy! yesterday where he was the only contestant to give a correct response, Tony Freitas unseated 5-time champion Tyler Rhode. (We’ll be seeing Tyler again in the Tournament of Champions, though.) With only $8,200 going into Final Jeopardy!, though, the prediction model isn’t feeling particularly good about Tony’s chances going forward. I’m sure those viewers who bemoaned the foregone conclusions of the “Amodio Rodeo” will be looking forward to the close, competitive match that today shapes up to be.
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 Suriname?
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.)
Dutch, chiefly the official language in the Netherlands, is also an official language in Belgium (chiefly the Flanders region, which borders the Netherlands), Suriname, Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten—the latter three not being U.N. member states, all still being constituent countries of The Netherlands. Suriname declared its independence from the Netherlands in 1975 but still maintains close economic and cultural ties to its former colonial power. Suriname is also the smallest independent country in South America.
An interesting neg-bait for someone with too much knowledge here might be Indonesia, with the Dutch being Indonesia’s foremost colonial power. However, Dutch is not an official language in Indonesia, only Indonesian.

Today’s interviews:
Sri was voluntold by his wife to do a freefall ride at a theme park.
Cindy collects Kit Kat bars from all over the world; her favorite is Okinawan sweet potato.
Tony had a trip planned to Japan and eloped before leaving.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Reversing Tony’s response of “depreciation” in REGULAR VERBS $1000 was a slam dunk. Reversing Sri’s response of “a whip” in REGULAR VERBS $600 I can accept, because adding an article—usually disregarded—creates an ambiguity between the noun and verb forms of a word, which does not fit the constraints of a category that specifically asks for verbs. I’m glad that it didn’t affect the outcome of the game.
- Cindy’s bet is ordinarily the best bet for the circumstances here in Final Jeopardy, as it keeps Tony from having a chance to win. It’s unfortunate for her that Sri chose not to make a cover bet. Tomorrow’s contestants should make note of this and adjust their strategy accordingly.
