ADOT’s on Jeopardy!, baby
ADOT’s on Jeopardy!, baby
“Jeopardy!,” in its current iteration, has been on the air continuously since September 10, 1984. That includes close to 10,000 episodes spanning five decades.
So it came as a surprise to us over here at ADOT that our state highways were referenced not once, but TWICE in a few months.
The first instance occurred in July. The category was “Road.” The clue was: “In Phoenix, The Stack is the name for the interchange where I-17, going north-south, meets this east-west interstate. The correct response, of course, is Interstate10.
The second time came in September. The category was “Same first and last letter geography.” The clue: “Driving I-40 from Winslow to Kingman, you might want to stop in this city and maybe take in the Museum of Northern Arizona.” The answer is Flagstaff.
What ties these two events together, aside from the highway references, is that not a single contestant got either clue right. Nobody even hazarded a guess on the I-40 one.
Check out both questions on our Instagram page, conveniently embedded right below this text.
