Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for May 23
In a topsy-turvy match, Jim came out on top in the May 23 match by getting the Final Jeopardy clue right and surging ahead when Brendan missed so many times that he didn’t make the final segment.
Jim had $13,400 and nearly doubled his score by winning a wagered $12,201. He becomes our new Jeopardy champion with $25,601 overall.
David was very close with $12,800, but he lost $3,999 by answering with the “Sun.” This made him finish in second with $8,801.
Sadly, Brendan could not participate as he had -$1,600. Though he had quite a lot of correct answers, he was incorrect with several critical Daily Doubles in the second round.
Final Jeopardy Answer for May 23
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on May 23, 2025 is “What is the Julian calendar?”
Sosigenes, as mentioned in the clue, wasn’t particularly famous, but he is partially credited for introducing the Julian calendar by way of Julius Caesar. In 46 BC, this effectively replaced the Roman calendar, which was subject to change by political leaders. The Julian calendar estimated the length of a year to be 365.25 days and resulted in 46 BC needing to be 445 days long so that the new calendar would be aligned correctly. In the 16th century, the Julian calendar was subsequently replaced by the Gregorian calendar, given the more precise calculation of the solar year to be 365.24 days.
