How much will you wager on your daily double? Do you sneak in a cute message to a loved while writing your Final “Jeopardy!” answer? Before you take a swing at the big stage, start out with Stacker’s quiz: Can you answer these real “Jeopardy!” questions about American history? Stacker dug into past “Jeopardy!” questions, which are memorialized in the J! Archive and constantly updated after every new episode, to compile the following list of 25 “Jeopardy!” questions about American history. Questions up to June 2020 were used, as the last season ended on June 12. Each question contains a slide with the clue, category, value, and episode air date, followed by the answer in standard “Jeopardy!” format, and some additional data about the question or answer. For example, do you know about the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize, who was also poet laureate of Illinois? Or the notorious traitor who was once fawned over as “blessed with almost superhuman energy and endurance”? What about the Civil War rivals who once fought on the same side? Take a trip back in time to learn about pillars of this country, like the first Chinese American governor, and the literary stylings of some of the most revered writers of the Harlem Renaissance. It’s all covered, from aviation to sports, and even some background about daylight saving time, which may have originated with a certain colonial known for bifocals and flying kites.

After all that anticipation, deciding where to spend that precious time can be a tough decision, so Stacker compiled a list of the best places in the United States to spend those golden years. Stacker used Niche rankings that utilize a variety of factors such as weather and access to health care. A maximum of 10 places per state were included. You can read more about the Nichemethodology here. Warm, sunny weather was the most common denominator among the best places to retire, whether they were communities on the coasts of Florida and California or in the deserts of Arizona. Some locations boast of sunshine hundreds of days each year. Options for recreation play another big role, especially top-ranked golf courses and clubs for tennis. Other top retirement destinations offer natural attractions, like trails for biking and walking or mountain settings for hiking and bird-watching. Sand and surf are key, with beaches, boardwalks, boating docks, marinas, fishing charters, swimming, and sailing opportunities. Desert sites are popular as well, offering the promise of sunny days, little rain, and striking landscapes. Some of the most desirable retirement destinations are those located near major cities like San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, ripe with arts, culture, and health care resources. But those choice locations carry the key drawback of a high cost of living, often due to pricey housing costs, that will not suit retirees often on fixed incomes. Low crime rates make a difference as well. All the top retirement destinations take a cue from Arizona’s Sun City, the first planned community for active older adults that introduced the concept that retirees liked being busy and engaged, with little interest in just fading away. Whiling away retirement years in a front porch rocking chair was no longer the ideal.
