Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category U.S. Stamps) for Monday, February 12, 2024 (Season 40, Game 111):
This Roman numeral appeared on stamps in a 2022 series for the 50th anniversary of an anti-discrimination law
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Dan Wohl, a high school history teacher from Brooklyn, New York
Donna Matturri, a librarian from Columbus, Ohio
Sriram Krishnan, a consultant from Falls Church, Virginia
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
As we get closer and closer to the start of the Tournament of Champions—the first quarterfinal is just 11 days away—the battle for that last spot continues, with today’s game featuring the sixth quarterfinal between Sriram Krishnan, Donna Matturri, and Dan Wohl. My prediction model considers Dan to be the favorite in today’s game, on the strength of his very strong victory where he ended the run of ToCer Matthew Marcus. Dan has earned a net $9,500 on Daily Doubles over his initial games; this bodes well for his chances as long as he can find those major clues. If not, though, both Sriram and Donna have very good average Coryat scores—I’m expecting a hotly-contested battle in today’s game.

The Education Amendments of 1972 are best known today for Title IX, which enshrined into law prohibitions on gender-based discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal aid. Interestingly, one of the major impacts of the law has been a significant increase in women in organized sports, especially at the college level, in the United States.
In 2022, the U.S. Postal Service commemorated the 50th anniversary of Title IX with a series of four Forever stamps, featuring a runner, swimmer, gymnast, and soccer player.
