Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

I'm just wondering, are any other FIRSTers doing the Jeopardy Online Contestant Test?

If not, you have 10 minutes to sign up for the HS contest, and 24 hours, 10 minutes to sign up for the College contest. :)

I wish I could do the little kid's one, with like the elementary and middle schoolers I always do really good on those shows =]

I'm signed up for High School, [Adam allready knew that it was his idea] I don't think I'm going to fend to well.

I just got done...and my brain hurts.

I guess I missed the window.

I had a good friend of mine appear on Jeopardy, i was so excited to see him on. Even though he got third place it was sweet to see him and he got a PC and a trip to Hawaii form it! GL to all.

wahoo i registered for the college one!

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

ahha! you are probably right too. :p

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

haha, ive got two morons behind me at least. :p

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Yeah, just watch out for this fun little error message guys:

That's what I got when I finished. Good job Jeopardy for not optimizing server settings for about 5000 people submitting the exact same second.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

I cannot take it, I have 3 macs at home and no PC's. I guess there is a downside to being a macaddict.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Corey, better make it 3...

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Hahahha, sweet.
My knowledge of useless "crap" will come in handy.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Full time College students only??? GAh!!!! :(

meh.

Are they a bit scared of life experience? hehehe.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

It could be worst. It asked what year are you. Im in my third year but Im not a junior.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Oh jeesh.. :ahh: Let's not even go there. I'm in my 8th/9th year of college. And.. technically.. yeah.. I don't have my AS yet but on my way to gettin' a whole bunch of certificates. (I have one already.)

I'd rather learn what will be useful to me directly (extra classes outside of my core "major"), than learn about something I will never use on the job.

I have more minors (3) at this point than I do majors (1). Is that a problem? :rolleyes:

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Do community colleges count? I've only seen people from major colleges like Stanford, Illinois, ect ect.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

I go to a community college and I signed up. I don't think going to a two-year college versus a four-year university should affect eligibility. If you're smart enough to qualify, what does it matter? :)

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

If he's studying for an associate's degree, I think he would qualify as an undergraduate. The official rules are online, and they provide contact information for questions.

I might just give it a go myself...if they let Canadians do it.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Yeah, That ticked me off, too. You have no Idea how angry I was.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

AHAH! i totally frogot about it. o well i will get my 15 minutes of fame somewhere else. :p

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

I remembered, but I found the test pretty hard. 50 questions rapid firing 15 second a piece. Beyond that at least half of the questions were literature based asking for author, charterers, and titles (not my strong point) I would say that if I got 50% of the answers correct I would feel like i did a good job considering. I guess only time will tell.

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

ahh, i would have conquered that part easily. as i am have a bottomless supply of knowledge when it comes down to literature. ;)

Re: Jeopardy Contestant Test - Tonight and Tomorrow
 

Yeah, too much literature, too many Americans. But I think I pulled of 60%, maybe even 70% on the thing, assuming some of the educated guesses went my way. (Then again, guessing on these questions isn't really an easy thing to do, if you're mostly unfamiliar with 19^th- and early-20^th-century American literature.)

I was around 85-95. Some were too obscure even for me.
