I was interested in this too - http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/fl477/tonight_a_... was the first few clues fed in to Google.

What I found was that the answer was in the snippets on the first SERP but certainly for some of the questions it seemed pretty hard to parse it out.

Also I think Jeopardy got 1 or possibly 2 answers wrong

- White City was the City of the 1908 Olympics, it was in London Borough or Greater London but not in the City of London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London). White City is a borough and not a city, which makes this a really hard question for a computer to answer I think.

- Nagini killed whatever Harry Potter character was mentioned ; I'm not familiar with the series and didn't see this question this was just based on a comment on Reddit and a Google for "killed $CharName" (I have a really bad memory).
