Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Medieval Europeans) for Wednesday, March 5, 2025 (Season 41, Game 128):

This mathematician of Pisa studied in Algeria & later wrote a book introducing Arabic numerals to a larger audience

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Juveria Zaheer, a psychiatrist from Whitby, Ontario, Canada (0 wins)

Roger Craig, an applied scientist from Arlington, Virginia (0 wins)

Matt Amodio, a quantitative researcher from New York, New York (0 wins)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Today is Game 1 of the finals between Matt Amodio, Roger Craig, and Juveria Zaheer. I don’t really have a great deal to say at this point; I think that all three of these players are some of the best Jeopardy! players ever with an excellent grasp of both the knowledge and strategy required to excel at this level. I am coming into this series of games expecting to see some of the best gameplay ever, and whoever wins will be a worthy champion.

Also, I do think I need to point out—because I don’t think it’s received nearly as much ink as it should on a provincial level—despite Juveria currently living in Whitby and going to high school in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, she was actually born in St. John’s, Newfoundland!

Additionally, make sure to check out quarterfinal #8 of Celebrity Jeopardy! between Sean Gunn (Kirk on Gilmore Girls and Kraglin Obfonteri in the MCU), D’Arcy Carden (Janet on The Good Place), and comedian Sherry Cola on ABC and CTV2 at 9:00 (8:00 Central) tonight.

Correct response: Who is Fibonacci (Leonardo of Pisa)?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Fibonacci, the mathematician best known for his “sequence” beginning 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…, spent his early life with his father Guglielmo, a trading-post director in modern-day Algeria, learned of Arabic numerals while there. In his 1202 work Liber Abaci, Fibonacci introduced Arabic numerals to a Western audience, showing the practical use of the number system in speeding up business calculations, leading to its widespread adoption throughout the Western world. (Because, of course, nothing ever really gets done unless it makes capitalism easier.)

It should be noted that during his lifetime, he was known as Leonardo of Pisa, and was generally only known as Fibonacci posthumously. I am writing this assuming that both “Fibonacci” and “Leonardo” would be accepted—if I am wrong, considering what has happened in the past, I am reasonably certain that I will be informed otherwise very shortly after publication.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: All The Non-Human Book Characters; Notable Names; Feeling Punchy; Spitting Fire; Recent Movies; Add A Letter)

Roger held the early lead by virtue of not being incorrect at all; at the interviews, the scores were Roger $4,000 Matt $3,000 Juveria $1,000.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Roger 5 correct 0 incorrect
Matt 5 correct 2 incorrect
Juveria 4 correct 1 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Juveria gets asked if Ken Jennings likes her.
Roger beat one of Ken Jennings’s records.
Matt is being told he’s not selling the “villian” role well.

“I don’t know anything about boxing. $3,400.” Unfortunately, Juveria’s score fell from $3,400 to $0 shortly thereafter. A couple of further incorrect response meant Juveria was in the red through 30 as Roger continued to lead.

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Roger 9 correct 0 incorrect
Matt 10 correct 3 incorrect
Juveria 8 correct 4 incorrect

Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:

Roger $5,200
Matt $4,600
Juveria -$600

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: European Geography; Document Dudes; The Desired Opera Category; Laying Down The Law; Reality TV; Ends In “M”)

Matt found DD2 and doubled up through it near the beginning of a run where he answered 10 consecutive clues correctly—an incredible run for this level. However, Roger was not completely quiet—he found DD3 and doubled his score to make sure Matt didn’t have a runaway going into Final Jeopardy. Juveria did get out of the hole—mostly thanks to a clue about Survivor, a show that her brother was on.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Matt 27 correct 3 incorrect
Roger 17 correct 2 incorrect
Juveria 12 correct 6 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 26 (0 today).
