Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Countries of the World) for Friday, April 1, 2022 (Season 38, Game 145):
Some of this country’s indigenous people want its name officially changed from its Dutch-based name to Aotearoa
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Nell Klugman, a museum educator from Brooklyn, New York
Yian Chen, an anesthesiologist from Menlo Park, California
Evan Roberts, a chemistry teacher from Louisville, Kentucky (1-day total: $20,400)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Yesterday, Evan Roberts of Louisville defeated a very strong 4-day champion in Jackie Kelly. If she makes the Tournament of Champions (and I do like her chances right now), I think she’ll be a very tough out. Moving onwards, though: Yian Chen and Nell Klugman want to become champion themselves on this first day of April.
Speaking of the first day of April: Today is April Fool’s Day. Sometimes, the show puts April Fools easter eggs into the show. (Other times, they don’t). If spoilers aren’t your thing, I would highly recommend avoiding Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit until you’ve watched the show—especially today.
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, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is New Zealand?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Aotearoa is the Maori name for the country that was named New Zealand by its European colonizers. British sovereignty was granted to the islands by the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi (generally regarded now as the founding document of New Zealand).
Interestingly, the “Dutch-based” name might be a red herring for those who have some knowledge of the name but not enough knowledge. The name “Zealand” comes from the name of the westernmost province of The Netherlands, as the first European to sight the islands was a Dutch explorer—Abel Tasman (doing so in 1642).

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: Thank You, the Internet; History is Circular; Birth Month FLowers; Close Capitals; Musicals by Song Lyrics; Madjectives
Evan got off to a very strong start, getting 7 of the first 10 clues correct. Nell clawed some of that back going into a one-clue-later first break. Coming out of the break, Nell had the strongest round—even though she dropped $4,000 on a missed Daily Double. Evan still had a lead after Single Jeopardy.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Hood Ornaments; Books & Authors; Historic Homes; Setting the Periodic Table; Acting Presidents; Stately Overlaps
The round mostly belonged to Nell, but the Daily Doubles came out very late. Nell got them both on clues 28 and 29, but she also failed to bet enough money to secure her runaway—in fact, she needed to attempt clue #30, which she was incorrect on.
Going into Final, Nell was just short of a runaway over Evan at $24,000, with Evan at $12,200 and Yian at $1,200.
In Final, Nell was the only correct response today, and she’ll go into the weekend as Jeopardy! champion!

Today’s interviews:
Nell was on a flight that had to make an emergency stop in Newfoundland.
Yian is really good at claw games.
Evan has been on the cover of a journal of bacteriology.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- It was very clear that a tape stoppage occurred on HISTORIC HOMES $1200 to judge as to whether or not Yian began his response in time—when that happens, other players are forbidden from rebounding, as too much time is judged to have elapsed.
- Link to the box score: April 1, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Nell $24,000 Evan $12,200 Yian $1,200)
Nell: Minimum cover bet here is $401.
Evan: You really need to go all-in here. (I’d say the absolute minimum here is $11,400.)
Yian: I’d bet $0, as Evan should go all-in here, and you could still get second place. If you really want to bet, you can safely bet up to $399.
