Introduction

I have compiled a list of Jeopardy! flag answers and questions from the J! Archive (https://j-archive.com); an archive of all available Jeopardy! answers and questions (including the Final Jeopardys) from 1984 until the present day. There may be more answers and questions concerning flags; however, manually searching the word “flag” on each separate episode would have made this project much more time-consuming, so I only limited my search to categories about flags. I begin with the most recent episode with flags as a category: June 4th, 2020. Enjoy!
