Final Jeopardy Explanation – Tuesday, January 17 2023
The west bank of the Mississippi River is made up of five states that run from north to south: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. Mimal is the name of a fictional character who is said to have been based on the outline of these states.
Minnesota is represented by Mimal’s hat, Iowa by his face, and Missouri by his shirt. Mimal’s pants and boots are represented by Arkansas and Louisiana, respectively.
On occasion, Tennessee and Kentucky are also shown in the picture to give the impression that Mimal is cooking chicken, with Tennessee serving as the pan and Kentucky as the chicken.
The five states’ distinctive shapes as a result of the Mississippi River inspired the term, which was developed as a mnemonic to aid Social Studies students in learning US geography.
