18:25Marissa Klein finished with $2,000, a game full of highs and lows.
18:29What did she come up with in Final Jeopardy?
18:31What is deacon? I'm afraid not, Marissa.
18:34What did you wager? No wager at all, so you stick with $2,000.
18:39Noah Hamilton was in second place with $8,600.
18:42His response was, what is pontifex?
18:46That is correct. Pontus, the Latin for bridge,
18:49the pontiff or pontifex maximus is the pope.
18:52So you're going to add to your $8,600.
18:53You'll add $1,390, so you now have $9,990.
18:59We'll see if that holds up.
19:00Diana Miller can put this away with a correct response.
19:03Does she have pontifex? No, wrote down father.
19:06What did you wager?
19:08$5,001 will drop you to second place, $7,199.
19:12And Noah Hamilton pulls off the comeback to become today's Jeopardy! champion.
19:19Congratulations.
