Plot Synopsis

JEOPARDY! is a nightly, syndicated game show (check local listings) that tests contestants' knowledge, covering topics such as literature, history and pop culture. Each game consists of three rounds: Single Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy! and Final Jeopardy! In each round, three competing contestants are given a clue in the form of an answer on a computerized gameboard. Players must give a response in the form of a question. The clues are sorted by varying degrees of difficulty and are matched by increasing dollar values.
