Final Jeopardy stakes and winners for December 2nd

Evan became the new Jeopardy champion after making a sure bet in Final Jeopardy. Once again, the clue stunned all three participants.

Much of Evans’ victory was due to his large lead after the second round. He had $21,800, which gave him plenty of buffer, even though he lost $4,601 on his bet on “Daniel Boone.” He leaves with a one-day total of $17,199.

Mike also guessed incorrectly on “Falstaff,” which resulted in him losing $3,100. His score dropped from $13,200 to $10,100 for second place.

Susan didn’t have much to do since she had $5,000 at the start of the segment. She lost $2,000 on her “Longfellow” bet (which she crossed out) and ended up in third place with $3,000.

Final Jeopardy answer for December 2nd

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on December 2, 2024 is “What is the Pied Piper (or Hamelin)?”

The Pied Piper of Hamelin, also known as the Panpiper or Pied Piper of Hamelin, is a legend of German origin that dates back to the Middle Ages. Although there is much literature on this character, the reference specifically refers to the 1842 poem by Robert Browning in a collection of poems entitled “Dramatic Lyrics.” Two of the lines are “And no one could admire the great man and his quaint clothes enough.”

According to the story, the mayor of Hamelin paid the rat catcher to get rid of the rats, but after the piper lured the rats into the river with his song, the mayor did not pay the agreed sum. Enraged, the piper returned in humble green clothing (the rustic clothing) and lured away all the town’s children instead. What happens to them depends on which account of history you read.
