NMAI on Jeopardy
Comment: The four questions used on Jeopardy were video questions. The three bonus questions are straight text questions.
I gather the NMAI staff prepared several video questions that Jeopardy didn't use. These are text-based versions of the extra questions. One of them may have been the unrevealed fifth question.
I guess Jeopardy didn't use these questions because they were too hard. Too bad, because they would've been better than the questions the show did use.
On a scale of 1-5, with five being the hardest, I'd say Jeopardy's NMAI questions were all 1's. In contrast, I'd give the bonus questions a rating of 2, 5, and 4.
If the first bonus question were the fifth NMAI question, I'd rate the category's difficulty as 1, 1, 1, 1, 2. I'd say a typical Jeopardy category should rate 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That shows you how far the show has fallen from its heyday.
