17. IT HAS TO BE IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION!!!

Jeopardy! is a game of trivia, covering topics such as history, literature, pop culture and science. During the game, three competing contestants select clues from a game board, up to 61 clues per game, each clue in the form of an answer, to which they must supply correct responses, each response in the form of a question. The conceit of "questioning answers" is original to Jeopardy! and, along with its theme music, remains the most enduring and distinctive element of the show.
