I am going with 100. This is a trap, isn't it.

No, we are trying to figure it out. One of our clients kids ask her and she had no clue......nor do we.:D

It is 100. Two per state. That is the branch of the legislature that is not based on equal representation for population. The represetative branch (House of Representatives) has more or less reps per state based on population. Cali has 53. South Dakota has 1, Rhode Island has 2. That is why we get hit so hard on television during the national elections. We are a big time swing state.

I'd guess 1 from each state, plus a few extra "miscellaneous".
However I haven't watched Jeopardy in a while, so I might be wrong...

2 per state for a total of 100. 2 more when Iraq becomes another state! J/K LOL! :D
