    Rick O'Shea plays this in the afternoon on 2FM but I think they have got the format wrong.

    I assumed you were given an answer such as

    Rick O'Shea

    and you give a question such as

    Name a 2fm presenter who moved from FM104?

    or

    Which former FM104 and Alantic 252 DJ now presents Lunchtimes on 2FM?

    Well, Larry Gogan's Just A Minute isn't the same format as the long-running BBC Radio 4 panel game of the same name, is it?

    No but I just wanted to know what the rules of Jeopardy are. The Just A Minute Quiz is different to Just A Minute even the name is slightly different :)

    Well you're pretty much right about the rules of Jeopardy! in the US - you're provided the answers and you give the questions.

    Although an answer would be more like, "A 2FM presenter who moved from FM104" and the question would be "Who is Rick O'Shea?"

    So basically, a typical Question and Answer (the capitals are for purposes of clarity) has been taken and the Question has been made into an answer, and you have to make the Answer into a question.

    I don't listen to 2FM in the afternoons, so what have they done wrong as regards the format?

    No it seems that they have it right. Seems a bit stupid.

    It seems to me that if you asked Who is Rick O'Shea? the answer could be anything

    from Paul Crossan to a 2fm Presenter.

    It seems to me in Jeopardy! you asked a question in the form of an answer and you answer a question in the form of a question! (What is the point? or in Jeopardy! talk That's the Point! )
