Jeopardy exam is tonight. I'm not prepared other than having the usual pile of junk in my head that I always carry around. I'll brush up on US Presidents and state/world capitals and just hope for the best otherwise.

Making the magic happen.
 
It is the yearly online contestant test. That is the only way to qualify now. No more in-person tests.

Yes, I have a pipe dream to get on the show.

Anyone can take the exam. It's at 8 pm EST (there are 2-3 other times for different time zones). If anyone wants a link to the information/tutorial/sign-up pages, let me know.

Give it to me! I wanna embarass myself. Only way I'd have a shot is if the perfect storm of categories showed up, stuff like Early 20th Century Eastern Euro Literature, Electric Guitars and Latent Homosexuality.
 
Well I just took the test. I'm not sure if I passed or not (and they don't tell you either).

You need 35 out of 50 to pass and I would guess I got right around 35. I knew a lot of them for sure, just a few I couldn't even come up with a guess for.

As I remember questions I (educated) guessed at and check the answers, I'll probably get a better sense of things.
 
Thank you RJ and whatever you prayed to.

Turns out I did pass. They have all the questions on the Jeopardy forum and I checked and I got 36, possibly 37 (not sure if I had completely typed out Thomas Aquinas when time ran out on me on that one - I don't think so).

But then I'm not sure if they will credit me with one answer where I said hockey but they might possibly insist on "ice hockey" since they are talking about the Olympics and there is also field hockey in the Olympics.

Anyway, I definitely passed. So now I just need to get called for an interview and dazzle them and get on the show. I suppose the odds of that are better than winning the lottery (but not by a ton.)
