Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for September 5
Like the first game, this match was a battle between Amy and Victoria, with Victoria becoming the ultimate victor of the September 5, 2024 game. Every contestant was able to get the right answer for Final Jeopardy.

Final Jeopardy Answer for September 5
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 5, 2024 is “What is the Gordian Knot?”
The Gordian Knot is a part of the myth of Alexander the Great. The Phrygians, who didn’t have a king, looked to an oracle who said that the next leader of the country should be the next man driving a oxcart. This ended up being a peasant, as the clue notes, named Gordias.
He tied what is known to be a Gordian Knot on the oxcart, and later on an oracle said that the person who could unravel the knot would become the ruler of Asia. Alexander the Great was presented with the problem, but instead of trying to untie it, he cleaved through the knot with a sword. As such, the legend of the Gordian Knot is a metaphor for using brute force to solve a supposedly unsolvable problem.
