520    "For 36 years, Jeopardy! has been a TV mainstay. In that 
       time, it has become a deeply entrenched American tradition
       and the sort of cross-generational touchstone the likes of
       which are few and far between in modern television -- a 
       show beloved by everyone from Solange Knowles to George 
       Clooney to the Auburn Tigers. This is the book about 
       Jeopardy!: its history and how it comes together how the 
       most successful players use strategy to dominate the man-
       myth-legend that is host Alex Trebek what life looks like 
       after winning big on Jeopardy! the Saturday Night Live 
       spoofs that time the Clue Crew almost slid off a glacier -
       - and everything in between. ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF 
       QUESTIONS will delve into the world of the trivia fanatics
       who spend years training for their chance to compete on 
       Jeopardy!, drilling themselves on Norse mythology and 
       isotopes and rigging homemade buzzers to perfect the art 
       of ringing in. Notable Jeopardy! champs from years past, 
       including Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer, and Buzzy Cohen 
       will appear to explain their strategies: when to hunt for 
       Daily Doubles or bet it all, and what makes a "good" Final
       Jeopardy wager. And the people who make Jeopardy! happen -
       - from the writers and producers to the wardrobe assistant
       responsible for Trebek's collection of 45 suits and 215 
       ties-will help break down what the show is looking for in 
       aspiring contestants. Readers will be a fly on the wall, 
       following along from the early-morning clue assembly in 
       Jeopardy!'s famous library to the moment producers make 
       the final cuts. Jeopardy! is a beloved institution in a 
       moment of profound transition. America's favorite quiz 
       show, which has deviated very little in all its years on 
       the air, is about to see a great deal of change. ANSWERS 
       IN THE FORM OF QUESTIONS is a moment to celebrate 
       everything that has made the show such an enduring success,
       from Merv Griffin and Art Fleming to the present, as well 
       as a look at the future and what lies ahead"--|cProvided
