In the category “Sauces,” which sauce do you put on eggs benedict? And I think they’d _have_ to have a different set of questions for the CST and PST test-takers. ---

Oh, I know what Puget Sound is. I just got all confused in my mind between Olympia, Salem, Eugene, Puget Sound, and the Willammette River. I do much better while playing along on TV. Really. ---

> [@Sal Ammoniac](#): > > In the category “Sauces,” which sauce do you put on eggs benedict? Yeah… I’m a vegetarian and I was never a big fan of eggs, so I didn’t have a prayer at that one. _C’est la vie._ So I know I missed that, the Karamazov question, and since I put “meet” for “meek,” I imagine I will not inherit the correct answer to that question. Still feeling pretty good about my results. > [@](#): > > And I think they’d _have_ to have a different set of questions for the CST and PST test-takers. I’m sure they would. I’m just wondering aloud if I’m giving my spot on Jeopardy away to some clever West Coast Doper. It WOULD be cool if we got a whole armada of people from this board on the show in a short span of time. 😉 ---

Question: I registered for this last week and I know it took my registration (when I tried to register for the “live and in person” auditions it told me “Sorry, you’ve already registered for the online audition”) but they never sent me a confirmation. Did those of you here get confirmations? (I’m taking it tonight if I can get on.) ---

Then again, I havent done the tryout yet (it’s in an hour and a half), so maybe I’m screwed. ---

Just took it. The ones I know I didn’t: “Playful” inventor of the mobile- anybody know? “Puerto Rican Hall of Famer who died in a 1972 plane crash” (Roberto Clemente- I looked it up) Category: C to C- a type of disease that recurs and goes into remission (as well as I remember the question). I have a feeling I’ll feel stupid when I learn this one. I’m sure I got the 40 necessary at least. ---

Just took it: although I’m in California, I decided to do the “Central / Mountain Time” day (today) since I’m out to dinner tomorrow evening I hope this doesn’t disqualify me… hope they don’t check IP Addresses if I tell them that I was visiting Chicago when I took it. BTW none of the questions mentioned earlier in this thread appeared today. Damn baseball questions… ---

Well, that sucked. It took me 20 questions to get comfortable, then I rolled after that, except for the Shakespeare. Why couldn’t I get Robert Byrd? I know that! ---

Ah, and the other baseball question I didn’t get- something about the 1941 Red Sox. (I put Gehrig because it was the only baseball player I could think of for the era- I knew he was “pride of the Yankees” but hoped perhaps he switched teams at some point. ---

Wow, that was tougher than I expected. Missed quite a few. Sampiro…I put “cyclic” for that one. Missed the playful sculptor and about all the bible related ones. Which Sicilian volcano was that which keeps erupting, Etna or Vesuvius? So many mistakes… ---
