Next to Wheel of Fortune is there a more beloved-by-all TV show then Jeopardy!?  I'd say nope.

Next to South Dakota, is there a more beloved-by-all State? Yes, geographically North Dakota is right next to South Dakota and clearly more beloved by all.

See, using your brain is fun!  Now time to answer actual North Dakota questions from the TV show Jeopardy!. I found them all in the huge Jeopardy! database.

There are 10 ND Jeopardy questions worth 1 point for each correct answer.

They're followed by 10 Double Jeopardy questions worth 2 points for each correct answer. 

Lastly, there's 1 Final Jeopardy question worth 3 points. 

So the PERFECT Score is 33!

Also, all of these answers/questions have been presented to the super smarty pants contestants on the TV show and they missed a bunch!  Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. You'll find the answers listed after Final Jeopardy (no peeking!). Looks like Alex is ready, so lets get to it!
