33 out of 50 for me. I think it’s the best I’ve ever done. ---

I took Wednesday’s test and got 38 correct answers (close to 40, but put “Bastille” instead of “Bastille Day” and “Vijay” instead of “Vijay Singh”). Just looked at Thursday’s test and would have gotten 29 right, which makes me very happy I took it on Wednesday. ---

It favors extroverts. ☹ Yeah, it discriminates against boring people like me. Of course, once I get on the show and reel off 10 wins in a row, suddenly I won’t be so boring. N’est-ce pas? ---

Depends if they were close games or not. If you’re brilliant and every game was decided before Final Jeopardy, then yeah, that’s kinda boring :D. ---

So anyone have any idea how long it will be before we’re contact for the next round, if contacted we will be? (I think I got 41/50 on the Thursday test) ---

I received an e-mail yesterday inviting me to an audition in DC next month. Anyone else? ---

Nope. My invitation from the last time came March 27, so when I hadn’t gotten one by the first week of April, I had a pretty good idea it was back to the drawing board. DC was my chosen city too. See you next time, **jayjay**. . . . and then I’ll know who you are! ---

It was Passover at our house as well. ---

I got invited, but I can’t go. ☹ On the other hand, it would be my second audition out of two online tests, so it seems I can reliably get invited. ---

Hey, they were able to reschedule me for another day, so I’m in! For the second time. I thought “Hey, maybe I can just stay at the hotel the auditions are in” because my aunt in DC may be out of town… holy crap, no. It’s, like, two blocks behind the White House and the cheapest room is almost seven hundred bucks a night. ---

Don’t give up hope, Midwest Dopers! Tonight I got invited to the Lexington tryout, in July. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-jeopardy-online-test-time-2011/568025.md?page=7)
