Horse Racing, as evidenced on one of the early CBS episodes GSN ran in 2001.

To tell you the truth, the toughest ones in my opinion is the categories, All About Languages, Physics, and Chemistry. Because I didn't take them in High School.
P.S.: Isn't All About Languages kind of like "Foreign Words" on Tic Tac Dough?
-
I don't think that the categories were that hard, per se (untill I saw some of those early CBS eps.), but I think they became much harder when they were preceded by 2 jokers...

Joker's Wild had a helluva lot easier categories(IMHO) as compared to it's sister show Tic Tac Dough

I'd say that he's British, but that would be an insult--to whom should not be difficult to determine.

Another tough Joker's Wild category, at least for the players on a 1978 syndicated episode: Mixed Fruits.

The "Mystery" category is obviously one of the toughest, because you have no idea what the category is.
Chemistry is also another tough category.
There is one category that contestants didn't do to well with... Road Signs... the player is shown a road sign, and he/she has to identify what the road sign is.
One of the most memorable of this category was when a road sign indicating "two-way traffic" was shown. One contestant answered, "you can pass on one side". That was wrong. The other contestant guessed "you can pass on either side."
Jack Barry's response:
"If you two were both doing that, you'd be in an accident! That's what it means."

I have little doubt that Zach did read my entire post, did get the joke--and posted anyway.
There are two ways to invoke Zach, I've found: mentioning his name, and not mentioning his name.
