Jeopardy!'s final round may be considered the most anticipated and satisfying part of the entire show. The final round has helped the show build its massive identity over the last decade. The final round allows the audience to take part in the game from their homes by guessing the right answer to the final question before the episode's airing.
Friday, March 17: Today's Final Jeopardy! question
The final question for the brand new round of the trivia game show reads as:
"Congress relented in 1890 after this prospective state said it would wait 100 years rather than come in without the women"

Solution: Wyoming.
