Ig Nobel Prizes on Jeopardy, again (with wasabi)

This week the Ig Nobel Prizes made another appearance on the Jeopardy! TV game show, this time as an answer. It refers to the 2011 Ig Nobel Chemistry Prize, which honored the inventor who tried to determine the ideal density of airborne wasabi (pungent horseradish) to awaken sleeping people in case of a fire or other emergency, and who applyied this knowledge to invent the wasabi alarm.

The Igs have been an entire category on Jeopardy at least eight times, in the past, and may have put in additional appearances.
