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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
