Of course, such a category would be incredibly easy for folks on this board. I was musing to my wife during it that it is perhaps the single category in all the world I would be most confident in getting every question right, and it would be a fun get-to-know-you question for the many time winner contestants what that category would be for them. Jeopardy questions by their nature have to be hard enough to have some challenge but mainstream enough that a somewhat random sample of smart people/trivia mavens have a chance of answering them. Degree of difficulty ticks up in the Tournament of Champions but only to a point. This category was always going to be more Tiger Woods/H.e.i.s.m.a.n/Cal/Kerri Walsh/College World Series than Notah Begay/Jim Plunkett/Stanford beat USC in the Greatest Upset Ever/Nnemkadi Ogwumike/Ed Sprague. Folks on this board could get the higher degree of difficulty, but that's not how these categories are formulated. That got me to wondering what the categories are that these great Tournament of Champions contestants would get right no matter how hard they were.
