Jeopardy! airs its 128th game tonight for season 41. Today marks Game 1 of the finals, and our contestants are Matt Amodio, Roger Craig, and Juveria Zaheer. Competition will be tough tonight as all three players have proved to be some of the most seasoned players who have displayed an excellent grasp of both knowledge and strategy, which are important in competing at this level of the game show.
Created by Merv Griffin in 1964, Jeopardy! is a television game show that is much unlike traditional quiz competitions. The game show reverses the conventional question-and-answer format and instead requires participants to identify an answer from given clues. The twist lies in the fact that the final answer has to be given in the form of a question.

Jeopardy! final solution: Wednesday, March 5, 2025
The clue and correct response for today's game are as follows:
Clue: This mathematician of Pisa studied in Algeria & later wrote a book introducing Arabic numerals to a larger audience
Solution: Who is Fibonacci (Leonardo of Pisa)?
Fibonacci was the mathematician who was best known for his “sequence” that follows 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… He spent his early life with his father Guglielmo, a trading-post director in modern-day Algeria, and learned about Arabic numerals while he was there with him. In his 1202 work Liber Abaci, the mathematician introduced Arabic numerals to a Western audience.
He showed the practical use of the number system in speeding up business calculations, which was extremely beneficial in trading sectors. This led to the widespread adoption of this system throughout the Western world. Fibonacci was known as Leonardo of Pisa during his lifetime. It was only after his death that he became known as Fibonacci.
