Really the only appropriate reaction to that answer.
Because the question stated that the answer should be a country. The fact that she offered Tibet as her final answer was awkward and idiotic. She could have said Belgium and it would have at least checked the box for being a country.

@@therealCamoron Precisely my thought. He couldn't win without their help, and it isn't as though he was going to (almost) double THAT much if he did win by default, so why not risk nothing and just hope that the others both trip over? Worse still, what if one or both of them also had ended up on $1 because they'd decided to take that risk? Unless he felt that geography was his strong suit, it was pretty basic thinking to play the standard tactic when the circumstances were such as these.
The brilliant part is the other two contestants both got it wrong. He should have bet nothing.
It boggles the mind that someone can pass all the tests needed to even get on Jeopardy, then does well enough to make it to Final Jeopardy, and then answers “Tibet” to this question. She may as well have said “Joisey”.

This is called the Prisoner's Dilemma: a tie for 1st place with 3rd place all but out of contention. For the leaders, the only two rational wagers are $0 or everything. (it's better to lose by getting the question wrong than to lose by getting it right and having someone overtake you) Third place, knowing that this happens, should wager nothing, but any wager from $0 to all-but-$1 is rational.
But you dont know for sure the other person will answer right. You could wager 0.
i dont get it
This is not a prisonners dilemma. Kind of close, but what you described, although true, is not the same thing.
before the change to a tiebreaker question, the only rational choice was to bet 0 and take the tie and play again with the other co-leader.

Well, nobody said you have to be a genius to be in the military.
I figured this out in a second, no sweat! This is why Geography should be taught more in American schools.
They do teach geography there. Only Murican geography though.....
Okay but that’s also like… your side of the continent lol. If it were on the Western Hemisphere we would know
This is why the schools need to do a better job at teaching in general lol
Yeah, but geography changes all the time. Countries change names. New countries are formed. Others get taken over. It's always changing.
the navy dude didn't know that.....that's scary ! 😂
Iraq? I-RAN FOR THE SMALLEST JEOPARDY WIN IN HISTORY BABY!

I busted out laughing at the luck of navy man

I remember watching this live and being so confused how none of them knew it. Especially the navy guy. I figured he'd have some idea of geography, but I suppose not. It was a surprising ending to be sure!
SO funny like how tf did that guy not know that?!? How can you be in the navy and not know the geography of the seas and gulfs around the middle east? And Tibet? WTF Tibet is landlocked!
That. Is. Amazing.
I think Manny’s brain went Caesar Cipher mode at the end of his response
I actually got that easily. Knew it right away. Problem is, I don't know a lot of other stuff in order to get on that show. Need to bone up on my knowledge of the bible, authors, movie stars and more, LOL
Oml the guy with the dollar winnings was the closest at least It's IRAN it took me two seconds

That Mario Party ending.
