From its ramparts, you can see the mouth of the Patapsco River as it flows into Chesapeake Bay
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Alan Elverum, a senior quality assurance administrator from Henderson, Nevada |
Staci Garner, a teacher from Chicago, Illinois |
Drew Basile, a graduate student from Birmingham, Michigan (4-day total: $75,682) |
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
After an extremely dominant victory yesterday where he picked up a season-high 33 correct responses, Drew Basile returns today looking to become the 278th 5-time champion in this version’s history. Chicago’s Stacy Garner and Nevada’s Alan Elverum are hoping to stop him.

I would say that the word “ramparts” is the most important word and most important clue in today’s Final Jeopardy. That word should hopefully make one think of “O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?” from “The Star Spangled Banner”—which, of course, was written about Fort McHenry by Francis Scott Key after the British Navy attacked Baltimore during the War of 1812.
Today, the fort still stands in Baltimore Harbor, near the now-partially-collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge—the Patapsco River might be a secondary clue for someone who was following the news of that bridge’s collapse back in March.
