The Jeopardy contestant search exam

[Mudcat]

Interesting. They are actually slowing down time. When I signed in, the countdown basically matched the clock on this computer but now my computer shows 9:00 but there is still over 3 minutes to wait.

Sports bettor actually makes it on to Jeopardy and hammers it.

So this was my official test. I got 37 out of 50 which I am not thrilled with but it is good enough.

If I get the call for an audition it will be in Columbus Ohio.

The current Jeopardy champ is a fucking beast. Guy knows everything and he has seemingly perfect buzzer technique. Not nearly as aggressive a bettor as Holzauer but I think he's gonna be on for quite a while.

 

[Mudcat]

I'll have to check him out. He's already on his 14th game and that doesn't happen very often.

 

[Mudcat]

Nothing to do with a contestant search but this is something I am looking forward to.

Jeopardy! to find show's greatest ever champion as record breaking players James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter go head-to-head for $1million prize

(go Brad)

 

[Boner_18]

Just read a story about Trebeks wife - shes a reiki practitioner. Guy loses more than a little respect for that.

And it's time once again for the online Contestant Search test deal.

Jan 28-30

 

[Matty]

I'm registered. Hoping for a miracle where all the questions are about 90's music, motorcycles, electronics and recent pop culture that doesn't include hip hop.

 

[Mudcat]

I basically just need stuff I've memorized. That's a lot of of stuff - I expect to pass the test. But my brain doesn't do the rapid-fire work-it-thru like it used to.

If I ever got on the show I would be very happy but I would also be, like, why couldn't this have happened 15 years ago?

No One on Jeopardy! Knows Who Adam Schiff Is

None of the three contestants on Wednesday's episode of Jeopardy! knew who House Committee Intelligence chairman Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) is.

Guess since I'm the only one here who pays attention to the political nonsense it shouldn't surprise me!

 

[Mudcat]

Just did the practice test. 26 out of 30.

Pretty good.
