Moline, Illinois Middle School Featured On Jeopardy Wednesday

I got in the habit of watching Jeopardy with my grandma years ago. Every day, "Ope, it's 4:30, time for Jeopardy." Yesterday, I might have finally guessed an answer correctly, because there was no way I was getting this one wrong - it's about the Quad Cities.

In the Double Jeopardy! round of Wednesday, October 5th's episode, one of the categories was "Company Towns."

After correctly guessing "Steel", contestant Tory correctly for $1200 to answer the clue "Lynch, Kentucky was built in 1917 by U.S. Coal & Coke, a subsidiary of U.S. this."

She asked for another category "Company Towns" for $800.

The clue that popped up is one we should all get.

"If you attend JDMS in the agricultural equipment-making town of Moline, Illinois, that's short for this middle school"

It's an easy question.

John Deere is headquartered in Moline, and JDMS - John Deere Middle School.

I timestamped to the exact moment the answer the question, it was around the 13:00 mark.

I Turned The Quad Cities Into AI Art

To get the AI pictures all I had to do was type in the name of the city, and the state, the algorithm did the rest.

All these photos are computer generated, and at first glance, it looks pretty good... some more than others, but the longer you look the more you notice how weird each one is.

These are all 5 cities in the QC. To start I typed in "Quad Cities" to see the results
