Today's Final Jeopardy! answer: Friday, January 24, 2025

Jeopardy! airs its 100th episode tonight for season 41, making a landmark moment. The game show airs its final game of Champions Wildcard today with Mehal Shah in the lead, closely followed by Drew Goins and Will Yancey. As we approach the finale, there is excitement in the air with contestants putting up a strong fight to become the final winner of the show.

Jeopardy! is a television game show created by Merv Griffin in 1964. In contrast to traditional quiz competitions, this game show reverses the conventional question-and-answer format. Participants are given clues, and they have to identify what the clue indicates. The final answer is to be given in the form of a question.

In yesterday's game, we saw a software engineer from Seattle, Washington, Mehal Shah, score the most, which totaled $27,200. This indeed builds up a lot of tension for today's game, as the other two contestants will try their utmost to top him and take the prize.

Jeopardy! final solution: Friday, January 24, 2025

The clue and correct response for today's game are as follows:

Clue: "Troll Hill” is the name of his country home, the grounds of which include a concert hall & a lakeside cabin where he worked

Solution: Who is Edvard Grieg?

The clue points to the former country home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, which is popularly known as the Troll Hill, or Troldhaugen in Norway. Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian pianist-composer. He is still considered one of the leading Romantic-era composers.

Grieg's music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. Some of his most famous works include the incidental music for Henrik Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt.

Troll House, or Troldhaugen, is located in Bergen, Norway, and the place has now been made into Edvard Grieg Museum Troldhaugen, in memory of the composer. It is a permanent exhibition of Grieg’s life and music and was opened in 1995.
