Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Midwest) for Monday, February 14, 2022 (Season 38, Game 111):
At about 90,000 it’s the most populous U.S. city on North America’s biggest lake
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Hung Pham, an assistant adjunct professor from Stanton, California
|
Carrie Christian, a healthcare administrator from Rockledge, Florida
|
Dave Rapp, a writer from Valley Village, California (1-day total: $30,000)
|
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ken Jennings returns today as host, as Mohawk-sporting champion Dave Rapp takes on Carrie Christian and Hung Pham. Dave had a very strong game on Friday with plenty of correct responses in the bottom two rows of the board; this bodes well for him, especially if his 45 attempts to buzz in from Friday’s game remains representative.

Duluth, Minnesota is the most populous American city on Lake Superior; it is also generally considered to be the westernmost port on the Great Lakes. (Thunder Bay, Ontario, is the most populous city proper on the lake.) Due to the Great Lakes Waterway and St. Lawrence Seaway, Duluth is the world’s farthest inland port for oceangoing ships.
