Hi Charles,
Actually, passing in Jeopardy is a calculated risk, and I don't follow
why it would make the game too easy. In Jeopardy if you pass and the
other contestant gives the correct question then the pass counts against
you as though you got it wrong. However, if the other contestants a
Hi Alfredo,
No its not. The U.K. doesn't even have Jeopardy over there. I don't know
why, but apparently its not their cup of tea.
Cheers!

It comes down to manpower. I am only one person and I wouldn't want to

I tried to make it onto Jeopardy, and almost made it. You have to take a
quiz on random questions, and must answer them, verbally, getting 35 out of
50 correct within a 15 minute time limit. I had 30 correct and ran out of
time with 10 questions left to give. It was a fun challenge.

Maybe not. However, that's just the way the game is played. I suppose
the reason behind supplying the contestant with the answer and having

Hi Bryan,
FYI, I believe Rescue 911 was from the early 90;s not the 80's. However,
your point is valid. Certain game shows and documentaries would not be
the same without the original host. Jeopardy definitely would not be the
same without Alex.

I agree with Philip on having two versions. How about the same
programme, but with two difficulties. Easy, and hard. That way you can
decide if you want multiple choice or an edit field.

There would have to be a lot of categorization. The $200 questions are easier
than the $1,000 questions.
Another thought I have is this: Should there be difficulty settings?, or
should there just be randomness. There are categories, and sometimes just one
question in a given category, where
One problem with punny clues is that screen readers will be used. For

FYI. Jeopardy is spelled J e o p a r d y.Its possible to keep track of
how many times a certain question or answer was selected using an array
of questions previously asked so its no big deal to insure the same
