On average, how many questions do you get right on Jeopardy?

[bigrash]

anyone here get most of them right?

 

[KLin]

About 10-15%. WHERE'S THE @#$^ING POLL?!

 

[buck]

Havent watched it since I was a teenager and my mom watched it. Never really liked that show.
Sorry I am of no help.

 

[OrganizedChaos]

maybe 1 out of 20

 

[blurredvision]

Out of an entire show? 4 questions....if I'm lucky.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

More than half.

 

[Rubycon]

None - they don't ask questions on Jeopardy.

 

[Nitemare]

about half, really depends on the categories though

Heh.

As for me, it just really depends on the categories. If they are history/english/lit heavy then I suck. But the more science/pop culture/misc cats they have the better I do.

I'd likely never win a game unless I got really really lucky on the cats/matchups. But I'd be competitive.

 

[tokie]

something around 10%. it largely depends on the categories for me though.

 

[newb111]

42

Yeah I'd say about half on average. Sometimes more when there are science / history / geography questions, but a lot lower when it is "17th century Russian art."

Ahh but the contestant asks the question, and it could be right or wrong.

 

[gururu2]

which is why they provide a study guide for all contestants prior to filming. I'd say that I get know a good 25% of questions but never get the answers out as fast as some of those contestants.

 

[Captante]

Roughly 30% on average ... it does vary a lot depending on the catagory though.

 

[eviljoker]

around 1 or 2

i can get most of the 100/200 dollar ones... and thats about it.. hahah

 

[DrPizza]

Depends on the category, and it depends a bit on me. Sometimes, I'm on fire, other times I'm slow as a snail.

 

[Dedpuhl]

~35-40%

 

[Throckmorton]

100%

Same here. Once they had a category, "Physics," which I swept with no problem. It was stuff I'd learned in high school, and then covered again in college. Basic physics stuff. Then they've got categories about old literature, or real trivia - stuff that only one or two people on the entire planet should really know anyway.
Generally, I probably get 10% or less.

 

[Sentinel]

On average, how many people actually count the number of questions they get right on jeopardy??

 

[Kev]

Celebrity? 90%

Teen Tournament? About half

Regular show? About 1/4

Tournament of champions? I just sit there with a blank stare on my face and drool like a retard

Yeah, that.

I don't keep track, but it's a lot more than my wife. But we at home have the luxury of being able to throw out guesses without penalty.
