This Canadian city was a category on Jeopardy this week
Viewers of Jeopardy got a chance to test their knowledge of trivia about B.C.'s biggest city Wednesday night.
Vancouver was featured as a category in the first round of the iconic quiz show with clues touching on sports, environmentalism, history and transportation.
The only Canadian contestant, Aiden Orzech, a teacher from the Greater Toronto Area, got three of the five questions correct, including the $200 answer, which was "Who are the Canucks."
Orzech also took a stab at the $600 question, guessing incorrectly in response.
"George Vancouver was immortalized after exploring the area in this ship, also the name of the longest-service space shuttle," that clue read, ultimately stumping all of the contestants.
All of the entries in the category are listed below, in the order they appeared on the board – without the correct responses.
- Vancouver's Rogers Arena is the home ice of this team that joined the NHL in 1970
- The first sea voyage by this group set sail from Vancouver in 1971 in protest of nuclear testing in Alaska
- George Vancouver was immortalized after exploring the area in this ship, also the name of the longest-service space shuttle
- In the 1880s Vancouver was fortuitously chosen as the western terminal of this transportation system, the CPR
- The city hosted a famous race in the then British Empire & these Games; John Landy looked back as Roger Bannister passed him
