Would you know these Alabama "Jeopardy!" questions?
The popular game show "Jeopardy!" has been on TV for more than 60 years -- first airing in 1964 -- and throughout its 41 seasons, there have been hundreds of questions related to Alabama.
Of course, we all would like to think we'd know the answer to a question on the show about our own state, but here's your chance to prove it by answering these Alabama-themed questions, previously featured on "Jeopardy!" and pulled from the J! Archive, in our quiz!
The good news? Our quiz is multiple choice, so they'll be a little easier for you than they were for the "Jeopardy!" contestants. Oh, and in case you haven't watched "Jeopardy!" in a while, remember that the answers are phrased like a question that would solve the given clue.
