Final Jeopardy!

GEOGRAPHIC NAME’S THE SAME – The busiest passenger port in the U.K., it shares its name with a capital of one of the original 13 states

Only Jackson was correct on FJ, adding $10,000 to take the lead into tomorrow’s contest with $24,000. Justin dropped $4,831 and will carry over $13,570, while Maya lost $1,030 and will enter Thursday’s game at $3,370.

The top combined scorer over the two games will earn $100,000 and a spot in the next ToC.

Triple Stumper of the day: In “U” BELONG WITH “ME”, no one could provide the final word in the Thoreau quote, “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.”
