JEOPARDY 2012

Ready for some trivia.

New Year’s Eve is a time to look back on the year.  Once again, I’ve compiled a list of questions I think would make Alex Trebek proud. The category is Newsmakers of 2012. There may be a few more sports questions than usual but after all, it was an Olympic year.

Send your answers to mjdaoust@hotmail.com if you want to be in the running for this year’s grand prize, a trip to Punta Cana …or maybe just a box of tangerines.

Enjoy!
