Jeopardy! contestants undoubtedly have the smarts. Show participants have to pass a test and ace an audition for the chance to compete, but even the smarties who make it on the long-running trivia competition get stumped sometimes. These 40 insanely difficult Jeopardy! questions have the distinction of being "triple stumpers" — meaning not a single one of the episode's three players could successfully answer them. Test your own know-how and see if you can flourish where they floundered. Hey, even if you can only answer one correctly, you're still smarter than a Jeopardy! contestant (at least in that one instance).
