One issue is that from the question screen there seems to be no way to get back to the categories. You can get a new category list, but not the one you came from.
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.

Cool idea. Since we're talking trivia, here's a shameless plug for my own app: (Android only) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mod0.pubtrivialive
Requires location permissions.
That's so I can find players nearby. The idea being that you see scores of friends in the same bar/room/whatever, as well as the overall top scores.

pretty neat...are these actual jeopardy questions?
Yeah - all the question and answer data comes from the J! archive: http://www.j-archive.com/

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)?
