pretty neat...are these actual jeopardy questions?

Yeah - all the question and answer data comes from the J! archive: http://www.j-archive.com/

Looks cool. I'm always a fan of apps that can be used for a few minutes during a commute or other down-time. Just be careful if you actually launch this as a product. Jeopardy may come after you for using their name, or their content.

Thanks! I definitely have no intention of trying to launch this as a 'product' because of the legal issues involved - I just did it as a fun experiment.

It also makes for a fantastic drinking game.

Very timely! Did you scrape the whole J! archive? Would you consider sharing your scraping code (and/or the resulting Q&A database)?
