Didn’t see a thread about it, but I just took the online test this evening, 1/26/16, at 8PM EST. It’s also offered tomorrow and Thursday (only one being offered this year*!*)
Did anyone take it, record it, and/or have the answers?

The producers posted the clues on their website:
https://www.jeopardy.com/Assets/jeopardy/clues/adult_test_2016_d1_clues.pdf
You have to hunt down the answers on your own though.
Awesome, Thanks! They didn’t used to do this, they’d get discussed here instead…
If anybody wants to check my work these were my answers to the above link’s questions:

I logged in and tried to do it, but even though I got the countdown, no clues ever appeared for me.
I suspect my computer is too old for the software they’re using. Gonna have to upgrade before next year’s test.
As the kids say, I has a sad.
They did it last year for sure and I think that was the first time they did.
Correcting a few of the guesses above, the ones I am pretty sure the correct answers are :
#18)Adult Coloring Books
#19)Abel’s Fable
#20)Thornton Wilder
#29)Almond
#31)Aida
#37)Blake Shelton
#40)Sleeping Beauty
#42)Helena
#46)Warhol
#47)Spleen
#48)Top Chef
?#50)Downton Abbey Road
I didn’t include the ones of Hail Ants that were clearly correct. Anybody else want to contribute to a full corrected list?
There’s a thread for each online test at jboard.tv. It has a video of the clues if you missed the test and want to take it for fun. Here are the answers posted there, which I believe are correct. I believe I got 40/50, which is around what I usually get I guess.
Annoyed the crap out of me that the last category was ‘Before & After’. That’s a common Wheel of Fortune category and I hate it, it’s counter-intuitive and not logical (which is why it’s on stupid Wheel).
I should have stuck with Spleen. I suddenly thought that the spleen isn’t as big as a fist, it’s a small gland (I was thinking of the pancreas), typed Liver in a panic then thought how it’s bigger than a fist!
Just completed the second night’s test (Wednesday, 9pm EST). I didn’t record the questions, and they’re not posted yet. I’d say ~40 or so correct. Eh.
Maybe next year.
Just took the test. It was way easier than last year. I think I only missed 4 or 5, all in recent pop culture categories.
I took the test tonight (Wednesday); it’s been a while since I last took the test. I’m pretty sure I won’t be on television (at least not on Jeopardy). Where does one find the answers, and when are they available?
Questions here. (At least I think so-just replaced the d1 from the prior link with a d2)
OMG! Those were way easier than Tuesday’s!! Shenanigans, shenanigans!!!
I believe these are the answers to Wednesday’s test. No, I didn’t know them all. I think I ended up with 44 correct [spoiler]
This is the first I’d heard of this and typed it into google. What I got was some sort of practice test which I don’t think is what everyone else has done.
Got this question: THE U.S. STOPPED ISSUING THIS TYPE OF STAMP IN THE 1970S, WHEN MOST DOMESTIC MAIL WAS BEING SENT THAT WAY ANYWAY
Answer is “What is Airmail?”
That’s not really what I was thinking when you asked about type of stamp, but I guess that’s my fault.
They do different ones each night of the test. I took the Tuesday night test, and I did quite well, I think! (I got the Before and After one right, too, Hail Ants – just for the record! )
I took it the last two years also, but never got called. And now of course the nearest audition city is much farther away this year. But… we’ll see.
Actually, adding them up, I only got one more right than Tuesday’s…
36 right, my best score in five tries. I should have gotten 38, but my mind went blank on Gene Hackman and Emma Lazarus. Still I’m not likely to be on the show.
