Only ONE of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.
WHAT IS SPAIN?
Territories belonging to Spain in Africa include the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, on the northern coast of Morocco. Both cities have a population over 80K and abide by EU law. Spanish is the official language and the euro is the official currency. Morocco wants the Spaniards out of there, but the Spaniards don’t want to go.
Ceuta and Melilla are considered exclaves because they are geographically separated from Spain and only have a border with Morocco. Another African exclave is Cabinda, which belongs to Angola. It is separated from Angola by a narrow strip of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Republic of the Congo.
Nora went with England. She lost $4,600 and finished with $2,800.
Tyler thought it was Morocco. That cost him $2,801 and left him with $9,199.
Adam got it right. He bet $800 and won the game with $27,000. Adam’s 5-day total is $99,601.
