It is a trivia game show where Alex Trebek gives you an answer for a category and you have to give the question. The questions are given in the form of "What is...", "Who is...", etc. The game will give you that part so all you have to do is type out the correct answer, or for the sake of Jeopardy, the correct question. When you are reading the answers in the next section, the "A" is the answer, or the part that is given on the screen. The "Q" is the question which is what you will have to type out. The point of the game is obviously to get the questions correct, but also to have the most money at the end of the game. The first two rounds will consiste of six categories and five questions in each category. The first round will have prizes worth $200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 respectively. The second round will have prizes worth $500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 respectively. There will be one random "Double Jeopardy" question where you wager how much you are willing to wager on a question before answering it. If you have a positive score above $0 after the second round, you will enter the final jeopardy round. You will be shown the final jeopardy category and have to wager whatever amount you want. You will not get to see the question until after you wager so either use the answers in this guide or bet based on how much you know in the category. After this final round, whoever has the most money will be the winner. *PLEASE NOTE - The way I wrote this guide was to physically play it and write down each and every question I got in game. There may obviously be typos and I could have missed some questions. I went through a hundred rounds without getting any new questions so I figured I was done but if you find any questions that may have unfortunately slipped by, I would greatly appreciate it if you e- mailed me the questions and answers at FrankTheTank3388@gmail.com Thank you for helping! _______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 3. - Regular Questions _______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 13-Letter Words A - Duke Ellington's "Ladies" Q - Sophisticated A - The "R" in CPR Q - Resuscitation A - Descriptive of a line at a right angle to the plane Q - Perpendicular A - The philosophy of science of law Q - Jurisprudence A - Gear, or a married woman's personal property exclusive of her dowry Q - Paraphernalia _______________________________________________________________________________ 1962 A - The NY baseball team that set a new record for losing Q - New York Mets A - After the U.S. blockade, this Soviet premier ordered Cuban missiles removed Q - Nikita Khrushchev A - Her obituary in "Time" read, "She was a star" though "she never qite became an actress" Q - Marilyn Monroe A - Launched July 10, it was the 1st communications satellite Q - Telstar A - James Meredith became the 1st black to attend this state's "ole" university Q - Mississippi _______________________________________________________________________________ 1972 A - The building complex where James McCord & his cohorts were caught Q - Watergate A - Olympic city in which 2 Israeli athletes were killed Q - Munich A - This g-man became the 1st civil servant to lie in the state of the capitol Q - J.
