Fri Dec 20 03:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Jeopardy! Champion Ashley Chan Secures Third Win, Stumping Contestants with Geography Clue
**New York, NY – December 16, 2024** – Publicist Ashley Chan has triumphed again, securing her third consecutive Jeopardy! victory. Facing off against law student Matt Grossman and college student Henry Barbaro, Chan’s consistent performance led her to a total of $46,500.
The Final Jeopardy! round, categorized under “Geography,” proved challenging for all contestants. The clue: “Jebel Musa in Morocco & Mount Hacho near Ceuta are candidates for the southern half of this pair,” stumped even the returning champion. While Chan’s answer, “Everest + K2,” was incorrect, her substantial lead from previous rounds ensured her victory. She wagered nothing, maintaining her existing winnings.
Grossman, who entered Final Jeopardy with $7,200, offered “Straits of Gibraltar,” a close but ultimately incorrect response. He wagered $2,000, leaving him with $5,200. Barbaro, with only $2,000, risked it all, leaving with $0 after failing to provide an answer.
The correct answer, revealed to be “What are the Pillars of Hercules?”, refers to the two mountainous points forming the Strait of Gibraltar. While the northernmost point is definitively identified, the southernmost remains debated, with Jebel Musa and Monte Hacho being the leading contenders.
