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:

Awesome, Thanks! They didn’t used to do this, they’d get discussed here instead…

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.

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?

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.

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.
