anyone take the jeopardy test?

[thetrinity]

i usually take it every year i just got done with it now, it seemed easier then it usually is, you can take it tomorrow or thursday night if you are interested in trying to get on the show. i did penetrate up one of the 2 sports questions i got which made me upset

[nvrlose37]

I have no idea how they pick these contestants. Do you have to get everything right and then pass some additional crap later on?

its like impossible to get everything right, the questions move so fast (15 seconds) then bam new one up.

if you "pass" the test, you are in the audition pool til next year, they let you know if they want you to come for an audition, tons of cities where this is done, that would be considered round 2.

Battle of Hastings I would assume

I used to do the college one but that's probably even harder when they only bring on 15 people.

I took it a few years ago. It was pretty tough and didn't make it to the next round. I did however make it on wheel of fortune. True story.

[d2bets]

I did it in the past, it's so penetrating hard it makes me feel like a moron. I think to win you need to have a group in the room to know enough answers.

[floridagolfer]

I took it two or three years ago and didn't do very well; seemed like all those categories in which I have no chance (poets, Shakespeare, 19th century novelists) were what they threw at me. I might try again, but perhaps not. To get ON the show you have to be so incredibly well-rounded in different subjects.

[thetrinity]

actually seeing it on the screen and yelling out the answers seems way easier to me then the test usually does, but this time around it seemed a little easier, more pop culture questions then usual.

i do know a guy who made it on the show a few years back and he won it twice around 30000 total if i remember correctly, he claims his buzzer stopped working on the third show and they didnt do anything about it.

Signed up to take it tonight. I fukkin LOVE Jeopardy. I used to record it and once a week watch all the episodes back to back.

[thetrinity]

gl hippo one of the few shows on tv i actually ever watch.

[greenhippo]

Starts in 6 minutes, will see how I do.

[greenhippo]

Had a shit ton of literary stuff. I know NOTHING about literature. 50 questions, I for sure knew 15 or so of them no doubt, another 5-10 I thought I probably got right. Another 10 I guessed with a good idea, the rest were passes, probably at least 10 passes. I don't fukkin know the capital of Latvia.

[thetrinity]

i had the capital of libya last night, its tripoli, latvia is riga, thats like an expert category for me.

the literary shit and science shit kills me

had what element is cu and i guessed copper and it looks like a got that one right, whew.

[greenhippo]

Had no science and no sports questions, no math either. It was a lot of history, literature, politics, geography.
