Avid 'Jeopardy' fans from Cedar Rapids might know all the details of all the times the City of Five Seasons was referenced on one of America's favorite game shows but did you know there's an actual database that keeps track?

You can start by searching their archive of every episode dating back to 1984, or you can simply search for Cedar Rapids, and here's what comes up.

I just hope you had fun with a little Cedar Rapids/Jeopardy history and a diversion from the other things going on right now.
