It's Jeopardy Online Test time, 2011

Next year I think I am going to read the questions out loud. I may try that tonight, in fact.

That’s why I took the Wednesday test. This makes 4 years in a row where my score was/would have been higher on the 2nd test. I doubt it’s coincidental, considering how many more people live in the Eastern time zone.

I’m scheduled for the West coast test tonight. But when I tried the site recently it’s not displaying correctly or allowing me to login. Can someone check this link and see if you get the same problem:

Is it them or is it me?

Thanks!

They won’t let you log in until about 30 minutes before the test starts. And once you do log in, keep the window open, since there’s no buzzer or anything to tell you when the test starts.

Good luck, everyone! :slight_smile:

They do start playing the Jeopardy theme (also known as “Ka-Ching Go the Strings of Merv Griffin’s Purse”) at 30 seconds till start.

Years back, an interviewer tried to get Merv to tell his net worth. Merv only smiled and said, “Kid, you don’t want to know how much money I’ve made from the Jeopardy jingle alone.”

I think that’s a YMMV - I took the East Coast one and would have scored lower on the middle one.

Everybody getting ready out here in the west?? I’m just hoping for 30.

Good luck to everyone!

I did horribly. Horribly. I don’t remember ever doing so poorly on one of these tests. It was awful.

I did better than I thought (considering I knew almost none of Tuesday’s questions), although I still doubt I made the minimum.

Just took the Pacific test - easier than last year, though I missed about 5 simply because of the time limit. Damn.

That absolutely sucked ass. At least I felt I sucked absolute ass… :frowning:

I can’t believe I got “Fawn Lawn”! And Edith Piaf, thankfully, is one of my favorite vocalists.

um. That was pretty tough.

You only missed FIVE???!!?? Damn, professor! I’m sure I got, uh, 9??

No, I missed about 5 (maybe 4) that I knew but didn’t type out in time. I missed others besides those. Sorry for giving the impression of bragging.

I took the Pacific test tonight. By far, the hardest of the 3 or 4 online tests I’ve taken.

Well, let’s hope they do, because then we both have 39. And that’s a bit better than I did the last time, and I got the email then.

Oh, I’ll take up that slack. I took the Wednesday test, and if they accept “Milan” for “Millan” then I got 46.

Works for me.

You know, for people who get 45+, they should just send then straight to the show, no audition needed.

But then again, I hate the audition process. It favors extroverts. :frowning:

I’m late to the thread…but kill me I did horribly.
