An $800 clue from today's episode of "Jeopardy!" --
"Paddle 1,200 miles of routes named for this type of boat in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Wilderness"
Not one of the contestants replied "What is a canoe?", including Mia from...MINNESOTA! Had she got this question right, she would have had enough to win the game!

In a small bit of defense for the contestants, it is a fairly oddly worded question.
"routes named for this type of boat"
I guess they are indeed "canoe routes"...but even as a frequent visitor, I had to read it a couple times before I realized what it was asking.
And where did they pull the 1,200 miles number?

They probably took that number from the Superior National Forest BWCAW Page .

Agreed, I had to reread the question or “answer “ and still don’t think it makes much sense. Key word of boat is the only thing that would lead me to answer “canoe “ in the context of talking about the BWCA.

Oh, remember, Treehorn--on Jeopardy!, it's not a question. It's an answer! :) :)

But if you lived in California you probably would.
