8 comments

The questions in this quiz were all actually asked on real episodes of the hit TV game show, Jeopardy!. After scouring through the archives, these are some of the more head-scratching clues, questions, and answers that have ever appeared on the popular trivia show. Alex Trebek likely could only shake his head at what strange questions these were. He likely was wondering how exactly the showrunners managed to think up these bizarre questions.

Perhaps you are a real know-it-all and are able to do well on a mind-boggling quiz such as this regardless of how strange the questions are. If that is the case, then go ahead and take this quiz, give your answers in the form of a question, and we'll see how well you do. You never know, this could be just the beginning of your Jeopardy! journey. You might go on to audition for the show and eventually become famous!
