De acordo com esta entrevista com Alex Trebek promovendo O Jeopardy! Livro: As Respostas, as Perguntas, os Fatos e as Histórias do Maior Game Show da História :
"We save all unused material, although sometimes an answer that isn't used one day will turn up later under a different category."
Billy Wisse , o escritor principal do Jeopardy! , diz o mesmo em :
AVC: How many questions get thrown out upon review?
BW: Well, in every category one is going to get thrown out, and then there’s always an extra there for emergencies or technical problems. And so two clues out of every seven get thrown out, but they could get used later if you write that same category again or you really like that clue and you want to write around it. So a lot of clues get thrown out, but some of them come back again. But we have thousands and thousands and thousands of unused clues, and most of them will never see the light of day.
