Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 19th Century Novels) for Monday, November 25, 2024 (Season 41, Game 56):
The mention of a new railway section between Rothal & Allahabad in India leads to an argument & then a bet in this novel
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Carolyn Gramling, a science writer from Washington, D.C.
Kevin Laskowski, an Episcopal priest from Falls Church, Virginia
Adam Hersh, an attorney from Brooklyn, New York (1-day total: $29,000)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Welcome to Week #12 of Season 41 of Jeopardy, where Adam Hersh returns as a 1-day champion. The announcement last Monday of the Tournament of Champions (and to a lesser extent, Champions Wildcard) field has added some intrigue to today’s match-up. Adam’s 1-day total is just $200 less than Evan Dorey, and if Adam does not win today, it is not known if Adam’s total will be enough for Champions Wildcard.
Viewers should also be warned to check their local listings with regard to later this week, as there are often significant preemptions on both Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday thanks to various professional and college football games.

Correct response: What is Around the World in Eighty Days?
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 inciting incident of the plot of Jules Verne’s novel Around The World in Eighty Days was a newspaper article mentioning that a new railway section’s opening in India makes it possible to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. Phileas Fogg, wealthy English gentleman and Reform Club member, takes a £20,000 bet—half his fortune—that he can, in fact, travel around the world in 80 days.
Interestingly, the novel was initially serialized in the fall of 1872 in Le Temps, with the publication of its ending purposefully coinciding with Fogg’s in-book “deadline” of December 21; additionally, due to its contemporaneous setting, many readers actually believed that the journey was taking place and began placing wagers on its outcome.
