On a more personal note: A few of you—thankfully, an incredibly small percentage of the daily readership of this site—have taken it upon themselves to send me notes attempting to minimize the problems that LGBTQIA+ people, especially trans people, are having in many places today. To this, I would like to say: If you do not think LGBTQIA+ people are worthy of support at all times, I do not think this is the best space for you to leave comments.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The title of Holy Roman Emperor was created in 800 to reward Charlemagne, as Pope Leo III felt Charlemagne had secured Leo’s election as Pope. (Between the fall of the Western Roman Emperor in 480 and 800, the Byzantine emperor was generally regarded as the Roman emperor.) From the 13th century onward, the title was elected by a small body of the most important European leaders. By way of example, George III of the United Kingdom was the elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Myles $17,600 Libby $13,600 Mira $12,400)
Mira: Being that Libby is in Stratton’s Dilemma, you might be able to pull out an advantage here over Libby if you go all-in, so as to force her to cover you. Otherwise, limit your bet to $4,399, in order to win a Double Stumper with Myles. (Actual bet: $10,000)
Myles: Standard cover bet over Libby is $9,601. (Actual bet: $10,000)
Libby: You’re in Stratton’s Dilemma; you can’t win both a Triple Stumper and cover Mira. Bet either less than $5,599 or more than $11,201. (Actual bet: $4,001)
