Rules and Notes:
Each round will have 6 categories. You will know the categories before hand. Each category will have 5 questions of increasing difficulty. The easiest will be labeled as $200, while the hardest will be labeled at $1000. This level of difficulty is judged by me intra-category, so one category's 200 might be a gimme for most people, while another might be a bit tougher, for instance.
For each of the 6 categories, you will post in thread the questions whose point values you would like to attempt. When I have these, I will give you the questions that correspond to these. You will have approximately 48 hours to answer via PM. For each one you get right, you get the point value listed. For each one you get incorrect, nothing happens.
Your answers will be revealed in thread.
If you are unfamiliar with Jeopardy!, here you go:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeopardy!
Unlike regular Jeopardy, there are no Daily Doubles or final jeopardy questions. No points for incorrect answers are lost. And, despite these being answers, I don't really care if you phrase them in the form of a question. You will also not be given a chance to be more specific, if you get close to the answer. For instance, if the answer is What is Baby Blue? it will be up to my discretion/the question's phrasing whether What is Blue is correct, but if it isn't, you will be wrong. If you do not spell something correctly, I may still give it to you, but it will be up to my discretion. If you provide an alternative answer, I will judge whether that is correct, feel free to talk to me about it but any decision I make is final.
Use common sense here. Do not discuss the questions with anyone, do not get outside help (google, wikipedia, your mom, a supercomputer, praying to a trivia god, etc). This is just for fun, it's supposed to be casual, there's no prize. See how you do, if you just want to be on top of a leaderboard I'll make you one and put your name right on top.
I'm generally going to try to run these for a week but if like 4 days go by without a response I may shorten the deadlines.
Don't be a dick. It's a game, have fun.
I'm not perfect so I may change things but I'll try to let you know.
Unfortunately these questions may be United States centric, so I apologize for that.
