Before-and-afters go like this: the answer (answer 0) has two sub-answers (we'll call them answer 1 and answer 2). Each sub answer has a multiple-part question where the last part of the first question is the same as the first part of the second question (correspondingly "AB" and "BC" ) in such a way that answer 0=ABC.

No, no, I'm not looking for two answers, I'm looking for one compound answer. The second part of the compound answer is intrinsically tied to the first part. Navajo cooking never came up in Futurama (let alone a character's penchant for a specific dish), so that part has to be suggested by the first part.
Consider "Regnal name of the third Bishop of Rome who is the father of Brittany, Caitlin, Cassidy, Chloe, Cody, Dermot, Dylan, Heather, Hunter, Ian, Jordan, Kendell, Kyra, Lauren, Max, Morgan, Noah, Phil, Q-Bert, Rumer, Sascha, Scout, Taylor, Tiffany, Wesley, and Zoe on The Simpsons." The correct question would be "Who is Pope Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel?" If I asked it the other way, I'd essentially be asking two questions, which is not how Jeopardy is played. That and most people wouldn't know who the third Pope was, but most people here would remember Cletus' roll call during "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson," so the second part suggests the first.

Still wrong, Eyedol. The point of the question is that the two answers share a common word or phrase. In this case, a main character is "Philip J. Fry," and a common Navajo food is a food called "Fry Bread"
Hence, DrT asked for a main character's favorite Navajo food. The question he asks is a combination of the two base questions, just as the answer is to be a combination of the two base answers.
Example:
I ask: "A song by Elton John about a ship-py episode"
I want: An famous Elton John song that shares a word or phrase with a "ship-py" Futurama episode.
A ship-py episode = Love and Rocket (It's shippy and involves the ship)
With that in mind, you can deduce that the song I'm looking for is 'Rocket Man', since that is a famous Elton John song, and the two answers would share the word 'rocket.'
Thus, you splice your two answers into one phrase, making your answer "What is Love and Rocket Man?" and you would be correct.
I can't really explain it any better than that.

Originally posted by JBERGES: "What is Philip J. Fry Bread?" YES! Finally. Apparently JBERGES and I are the only ones who know anything about Jeopardy. God, I'm glad I didn't use a hard one.

Hey, want me to kick you out? Kidding...kind of. I know my Jeopardy and take that comment as an insult. Besides, up until yours, no other question has required knowledge outside that of Futurama, let alone something as obscure as Navajo food, and your wording didn't help. Something like "The first man on Mars' favorite Navajo food" would have been better. In other words, the only actual clue in your question was about Navajo food; for someone not in the know about the Navajo, they'd have to work backwards, looking for a Navajo food that has part of a main character's name in it. While if you had included a clue about which main character it was, they could figure that out, then try to find a Navajo food with "Fry" in it. That's how it's done on Jeopardy, and that's how you did it later in your example of Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel. We weren't confused because we're stupid, or because we don't watch Jeopardy, we were confused because your wording was weird.

While I concede that I shouldn't have assumed people would automatically relate "food" to "Fry," I stand by my decision to use non-Futurama trivia, however obscure it may be. After all, the Jeopardy B&As' elements are barely related if at all, and trivia wouldn't be trivia if it weren't obscure.
Sorry if I was affrontive. It seemed like the more things were explained, the more confusing things became.
