Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Tuesday, November 1, 2016:
Final Jeopardy! category: EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: This nation joined the Warsaw Pact in 1955 & NATO in 2009, & was alphabetically first in each
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Denver Wade, an English teacher from Westfield, Indiana
Vivek Ravishanker, a freelance consultant from Higganum, Connecticut
Thea Lawton, a nonprofit resource development specialist from Anchorage, Alaska (1-day total: $24,400)
While I knew this clue immediately, the first thing I personally think of when I think of Albania? “You border on the Adriatic! Your land is mostly mountainous and your chief export is chrome!”
Ken Levine, Cheers writer, writes about the Albania song in a 2009 blog. Ken recalls that this may have been the last episode taped by the late Nick Colasanto. (The episodes often aired out-of-order, and he definitely looks frail in the video below.)
Here is the famous scene from Cheers where Coach sings the Albania song:
Using music as a mnemonic? Definitely works!
Back to more academic references, the vast majority of the former Warsaw Pact is now a member of NATO (in terms of former Soviet republics, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are also NATO members now).
