Jeopardy gets slope degree/percent wrong
I recall discussions here long ago about the difference between slope angle measurements in degrees and percent. Tonight on Jeopardy in the combination of a clue and correct response, they said Talladega race course turns are banked at a maximum of 33 percent. According to NASCAR, the steeper curves are banked at 33 degrees, or about 65 percent.
