There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.Here's a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

Final Jeopardy today was in the category "COUNTRY DISTINCTIONS"
The clue: "At 38%, this nation is ranked by the World Atlas as having the highest percentage of vegetarians in the world."
The answer: "What is India?"
Groen left no chance for his other contestants with a runaway lead of $30,800 at the end of the DJ round. Migliori and James had $5,200 and $1,000, respectively, which wasn’t enough to dethrone the 11-day champ.
It didn’t even matter that Groen was the only one to answer FJ incorrectly (“What is… Bhutan?”), dropping $9,2000 for a daily total of $21,600, which far exceeded Migliori and James’ totals. Migliori wagered $5,200 for a second-place total of $10,400, while James wagered $900 for a third-place spot of $1,900.
Groen will be back on Friday for attempt number 12.
