Jeopardy Board picture The rules for Water Jeopardy are exactly like those used on television's Jeopardy™. A team selects a category from the five listed at the top of the grid and a cup amount from 1 cup to 5 cups. The moderator turns over the selected cover sheet and reads the answer. After the answer has been read, the team that rings its bell first is given a chance to "ask" the questions. Allow about 30 seconds for team discussion before requesting the team's question. Depending on the cup amount selected, add water to the team's container if a correct answer is given.

Archer.

Ken Jennings holds the record for the longest Jeopardy! winning streak, as well as the most money won during non-tournament play. In each game, three clues are designated "Daily Doubles" (a name taken from horse racing): one in the Jeopardy! Round and two in the Double Jeopardy! Round. Only the contestant who selects a Daily Double may respond to its clue. The player may wager as much as the maximum amount of a clue on the board (currently $1000 in the Jeopardy! Round and $2000 in the Double Jeopardy!
Jeopardy combines the strength of the community, neighborhood schools and the police department to affect positive, lifelong attitudinal changes in the young people so as to have a positive impact on the community. Jeopardy targets "at risk" children, offering a variety of educational and physical projects, from tutoring to martial arts.
"Double Jeopardy" protections in the U.S. Constitution keep criminal defendants from facing prosecution more than once for the same offense (with a few exceptions). Below you will find information on "Double Jeopardy" protections, eligibility, and more.
