No ride to trivia tonight but this is my dream game!
Can someone give me the questions tonight? Multiple choice would be incredible. I understand it's asking a lot but I want to see how I'd do. X_X

Well if you had played you would have seen the best Passport team back in action like the good ole years of past Geography dominance. Oh, right, you don't know what Passport was do you?  The game was fairly easy, plenty of basic qs about bullet trains, airports, islands, drinks, etc. The Q that put me over the top for the gold medal was about the steel roller coaster... Thunder ________. Maybe Penguin was able to get the questions down. Bring back Passport. |

Would've done that Wednesday, because I did want to play the Japan game, but I couldn't get logged in to the test website. Probably hadn't processed my registration from that morning |

I am still happy with our 3rd place finish. Now if my teammates had listened to me right away on Tokyo's International Airport (including one who had flown into Narita but was insisting they had replaced it), we would have been a little closer...but still an enjoyable game. I got lucky on the last question about the largest Mall in Tokyo. |

I did the college jeopardy test several years ago. I'm not sure if the general game selection works this way, but it was set up so that getting a high score didn't guarantee you anything. If I recall, it selected randomly from the top scores. But I guess they have to do that for space since it's a special edition game. How do you think you did, pengwn? I was hoping for meaning of the names of islands as well as stuff like the shikoku pilgrimage. Maybe something like what islands did Russia take from Japan after WWII, etc. etc. Seems like a good game regardless. |

Took the 50Q test three times. Scored 50, 49 and 50. Never got a call. Took it a fourth time and would have gotten at least 49 again but intentionally wiped out 7 correct answers leaving a score of at least 42. Got the call a few weeks later. Nobody likes a know-it-all, kids. Not even Jeopardy... |

Six of my wrong answers were from the nine literary questions in the stack, which was no surprise to me (7/10, if you count the Bible as fiction  ). Otherwise, it was a breeze. GODOT here is convinced that score will qualify, but I'll wait to see an e-mail before I plan that road trip to SeattleAnd Spotes, I know you're capable of running that table without help, but I'm sure 50/50 just reeks of Borg to the J! folks. That, or they don't want you cornering the Dr. Pepper market

Yeah he seems like a really chill guy. He gives off a vibe of being at a party, a few beers in. Spotes were you on Jeopardy! ? |

Went down in flames like a tax-fattened hyena on a Daily Double TV question for most of my money that turned out to be about Murder She Wrote. I knew they'd get me on the "little old lady" trivia that they love on that show sooner or later. I was rather hoping for later but c'est la vie... |

I'm an idiot Read your post, but not very carefully, and concluded you never got any sort of response from the Jeopardy people *sits in the corner* |
