Final Jeopardy Answer for March 5
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on March 5, 2025 is “Who is Fibonacci?”
Fibonacci, otherwise known as Leonardo or Lionardo Fibonacci, was born in 1170. Since his father was an Italian merchant, he found himself in Bugia (which is Algeria today) and was educated in the Arabic numeral system. Finding this system comparatively better than other systems (like the Roman numeral system) while traveling throughout the Mediterranean, he published the “Liber Abaci” in 1202 that made the adoption of the Arabic numeral system more popular throughout the region. A statue of Fibonacci rests in Pisa, where he passed at some point in the mid-13th century.
