“Jeopardy!” on Friday included an entire category titled “To The Salt Lake City.” While the clues would not have stumped Ken Jennings, Friday’s contestants didn’t quite clean up.
The contestants, from Minnesota, Chicago and New York, didn’t even attempt to answer the $800 clue — a picture clue. They were correct on the other four, including a Daily Double in the category.
You can watch a video of the round below. It’s queued to the first question from the Salt Lake City category, which the contestants finished six minutes later.
Or, you can scroll below the video to quiz yourself. The answers are at the bottom.
Remember to answer in the form of a question.
• $200: Like the lake it was named for, Salt Lake City originally had this adjective at the front of its name
• $400: In 1982 the Univ. of Utah hospital was where the first permanent artificial this organ was implanted
• $600: One of the 2 basketball stars from the 1990s to have statues outside the Utah Jazz’ home arena
• $800: [A photograph of a mounted bronze seagull is displayed on the screen.] Recalling a great moment in state history, bronze seagulls perch on a monument in this square named for a building. [A new photograph is displayed that looks a lot like this one.]

• $1,000: [Daily Double. Sean from New York wagered $2,000.] Just like the one in the Middle East, this Salt Lake City river empties into a very saline lake.
