Awkward title probably, but lemme explain:

The question is “This piece of French architecture was finished on January 26, 1887.” You know this is the Eiffel Tower. But when you buzz in and give the response, you say:

“Who is the Eiffel Tower?”

Would you be awarded the points for being correct, or docked the points for being incorrect since you didn’t say “WHAT is the Eiffel Tower?”

    Jeopardy isn’t asking questions, it is giving answers. The contestants need to figure out and provide the correct question to the answer given.

    I’d imagine “who is the Eiffel Tower” would be wrong because that question doesn’t make sense.
