Friday 5: You’re on “Jeopardy!”

[cyclones500]

Imagine you’re selected to appear on “Jeopardy!" You're allowed to choose 5 of the 6 categories for either 1st or 2nd round, tailored to your areas of expertise.

For 6th category, below your numbered list, give an example of a category that would leave you clueless.

Be as specific as you wish with the categories. No requirement to create snappy, clever category titles, although if you can, that’s even more fun. (if you happen to do that, include a descriptor after it, in case the title isn’t self-explanatory).

My list is in progress (hoping I can find 5 areas of “expertise”!) I’ll post in a while.

Go!
