Correct response: What is Cinco de Mayo?

Cinco de Mayo is a commemmoration of the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, where Mexican forces defeated the French. Between this and yesterday’s Final Jeopardy about Napoleon, is the show deliberately highlighting French military defeat this week?

Andy’s Thoughts:

• A wild card score of $15,200, knowing no other scores, is 66.8% to advance. A score of $3,599, knowing no other scores, is 0.1% to advance. Claire was correct to bet as conservatively as she did.
