How Are the Questions Written?
Every episode of Jeopardy! is meticulously crafted by a team of eight writers and seven researchers. First, the writers come up with a category. They come up with several clues, selecting the best ones based on how recently a question has been asked about a specific topic. Once the questions have been written and chosen, the researchers go through and fact check each one. Final Jeopardy questions are written individually, but there's a critical stipulation: at least one of the writers must be able to answer the question.
