Queen Bey found herself among classic Jeopardy! categories like "Literary Awards" and "Weights & Measures" on Tuesday, and the clues about her definitely wouldn't stump even the most casual fan. Take, for instance, the $600 entry: "Beyoncé's daughter sounds like a colorful plant with this first & middle name." Superchamp Arthur Chu makes the most cringeworthy mistake, botching the $1,000 entry by calling Beyoncé's hit song with Jay-Z "Drunk on love" instead of "Drunk in Love." Ouch. I guess he was busy studying up on classic literature. --Samantha Rollins
