Several weeks ago, Jeopardy promoted that you could try out for the show by taking the contestant test online. I thought, "what the heck." So, I signed up and took the test last night.
It consisted of 50 questions in which you had to type in the answer within 15 seconds, including reading the question. I'm not expecting a call to try out for the show. I did horribly. I'm not sure how many questions I got right, but it wasn't that many--maybe 20. It was hard.
I had seen the movie, District 9, but I couldn't remember the country in Africa where it took place. It was South Africa. I am very familiar with the choreographer of Chicago and subject of All that Jazz, but couldn't think of his name in 15 seconds--Bob Fosse. Some of the stuff they asked, I just had no idea. If they asked about TV sitcoms, I might have had a chance. So much for my dream of being the next Ken Jennings.
