[quote]Jeopardy! is an American quiz show featuring trivia in history, literature, the arts, pop culture, science, sports, geography, wordplay, and more. The show has a unique answer-and-question format in which contestants are presented with clues in the form of answers, and must phrase their responses in question form.[/quote]
I'm sure most of you already know how it's played but I'll give it a basic run-down for those of you who don't.
There are 6 categories, each with 5 "answers" and a price tag on each of them. You have 5 seconds to then answer the "answer" in a form of a question such as:
Clue: This statue is located in New York and it's name in French is, "La Liberté éclairant le monde"
You: What is the Statue of Liberty
and you either gain the amount thew clue was tagged for or lose that amount.
There are 3 different rounds, the standard round of 6 categories, then a Double Jeopardy! Round which is basically the same as the first, but the prices are doubled. In Final Jeopardy! a category is announced and so is a clue, the contestants must then write down the answer and put down a wager of the amount of money they have.

:siren:[b]This coming Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, IBM's own supercomputer, Watson, will face off against Ken Jennings (74 game winner) and Brad Rutter (The winner of 3 Jeopardy! Tournaments, the 2001 Tournament of Champions, the Million Dollar Masters Tournament, and the Ultimate Tournament of Champions.)[/b]:siren:
This has been 4 years in the making and I hope you'll watch to see how far Watson had come. In the meantime, enjoy a documentary on this whole pre-game challenge Watson faced.
