This really annoys me. When I was a kid and I watched Jeopardy, I never got any of the answers right, which I didn't mind since I was just a kid. But now I when I watch Jeopardy I'm all like, "Hey, I know most of this stuff! Cool!" and I feel good about myself until the Final Jeopardy question which completely stalls me. I can't even come close to guessing most of the answers, and I don't ever remember getting any of them correctly.

I get like half of them right. Final Jeopardy questions are usually designed with the idea in mind that you should be able to work out the answer to the question logically even if your knowledge of the topic is basic, although sometimes they're still tough anyway and sometimes they're just literature or some s*** that I really don't know.
I got one right, when I was like 9. I don't recall the question, but the answer was "Micheal Jackson", my parents and family were laughing at me and my answer, but I was the one laughing in the end.
I usually get the Final Jeopardy right, but then again, I only ever seem to catch the FJ's that seem specifically catered to me.
I remember one Final Jeopardy asking who won Super Bowl XLIV. I would have won SO much money!

I love getting Final Jeopardy right before the commercial break. Like when Trebeck announces the category and you just make a random guess. I have been known on occasion to get it right.
