Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category World Flags) for Monday, February 5, 2024 (Season 40, Game 106):
The flag of this Asian nation features part of a World Heritage Site built in the 12th century
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Jesse Chin, an accounting director from Bayside, New York
Mira Hayward, a podcast host from Portland, Oregon
Kate Campolieta, a corporate communications specialist from Simsbury, Connecticut
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today’s opening quarterfinal is between Kate Campolieta, Mira Hayward, and Jesse Chin. As I said in my preview yesterday, both myself and the prediction model think that Mira is favored to win this one, but Jesse could easily perform much better than his initial games if he struggles less on the buzzer this time out. Don’t count out Kate, either—everyone in this event is a Jeopardy! champion and is very capable of a victory.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The flag of Cambodia (pictured above) contains two blue stripes, a red stripe in the center, and a three-towered temple in the middle, with the temple representing the country’s famed Angkor Wat. Interestingly, despite its various changes in leadership over the past few decades, some representation of the temple has always featured on the country’s flag.
The temple complex at Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II as a state temple and mausoleum The Angkor area, which had served as a capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to 15th Century, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I know it’s technically up to the player to realize the situation (and kudos to Jesse for doing so), but I still wish Ken would remind players that they can bet up to $2,000 on a Daily Double in Double Jeopardy if their score is not that high.
- If you are going to report on the fact that this is believed to be the first game in the show’s history where all three players bet $0 in Final Jeopardy, I respectfully request that a citation is provided to me. I do not do this research only for it to be repeated without credit.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
