‘Jeopardy!’ contestants struggled with a Boston category. Can you beat them?
Contestants on "Jeopardy!" only got three out of five answers right in the "Boston Space" category.
Less than a month after featuring a category about Massachusetts colleges, “Jeopardy!” returned this week with what seemed like a relatively easy category about the city of Boston.
“Seemed like” is the operative phrase. Because contestants on Monday night’s episode struggled with the category “Boston Space,” about physical landmarks in the city.
One contestant gave an incorrect answer to the $600 question before a second contestant rang in with the correct one. And all three contestants opted not to buzz in for the $800 and $1000 clues, in what’s known as a “triple stumper.”
Think you can answer all five correctly? Here are the clues. Answers (in the form of a question) are at the bottom of the article.
