Was it an easy final? “Danger!” Some clue? Some fans on Twitter thought so, but it still left two contestants stumped.
Read Aloud by Host Ken Jennings On National Parks On Friday’s episode of last week, the clue: “He is named after a river tribe called the Mi tse a-da-zi, translated by French-speaking engineers as ‘ Pierre Jaune’”.
Here’s an extra hint: The answer is a hint.
However, that seemed lost to contestants Lauren Donegan and Stephen Webb. A third contestant, Will Travis, correctly answered “What yellow rock?”
But when all the final bets were done, Webb won with $19,930.
The end of the episode “Jeopardy!” Fans took to Twitter to speculate. An easy clue since “Pierre Jaune” translates as “Yellow Stone” in English.
“It’s amazing that not everyone understands it,” @roastlamp27 wrote “French is very common.”
“Very simple,” @Leonsdatter wrote
“If you are moderately literate in French, they pronounce it for you.” @juan_bty wrote
“My @duolingo practice worked tonight!” @Julie93009065 wrote

“As a European fan of Yogi Bear, a medium-sized French-tong, that’s easy!” wrote a user named Nikki.
“Why not guess a random national park?” asked a user named TheLizardKingC. “Odds are decent, you’ll guess Yellowstone.”
It’s been a tough month for game show contestants. On Monday, a young “Wheel of Fortune” contestant went viral “Fresh Tropical Fruit,” asked for “g” to solve the puzzle. When “new” is not the only “s”. That mistake cost him a trip to Antigua.
