The television quiz show, Jeopardy! hosted by Alex Trebek has begun its annual Teen Tournament. Airing November 2 through November 13 across the U.S., the tournament features students in high school competing against one another in several games of 3 players each for a $75,000 grand prize and a championship trophy.
Teens from all over the country are competing this season, as usual, from the East coast to the West coast. Monday evening, for example, Will Dantzler, Bonny Jain, and Emily Lever competed, coming from South Carolina, Illinois and Maryland. Tuesday night Zach Blumenfeld, Samantha Reback, and Kennedy Stomps duke it out over questions testing several categories of knowledge.
Think the questions for a Teen Tournament might be "watered down" versions of regular Jeopardy!? Test your skill with the following Final Jeopardy! question from the first night of the tournament (remember, Jeopardy!'s format is to provide an answer, then contestants respond to the clue in the form of a question):
Category: Historic Americans
Answer: On July 11, 1804, he gasped to his doctor, "This is a mortal wound;" he died the next day.
Correct Question: Who is Alexander Hamilton?
