The "capital since 1805" part of the clue should have helped eliminate a lot of possibilities.
Plus the name of the category was state capitals - so the contestants had way more time than the 30 seconds to think about possible answers. (Always think about possible answers before the question is revealed)! Contestants technically can take as much time as they need to determine their wagers (off camera), and I'm guessing they probably get additional leeway from producers to consider the wagering arithmetic that's relevant at the end of a 2 day final.
So yea that's a FJ clue that should have been an easy-get for any of ntnBO's "1% of contestants who actually understand how to play this game" (from a few posts ago). Gonna guess that {Roger, Arthur, AJ, etc} easily nailed this one.
