I think I got 37 or 38 right. I’m not sure I typed “Troy” in time even though I knew the answer. I should have had a couple more (complementary, Hackman, Madison) that I just plain blanked on under the pressure. I’m sure everyone winds up with a couple of those. I’m guessing this means no chance of getting on. ---

However, a type of stamp that was discontinued in the 1970’s was Special Delivery. The last one issued carried a rate of 60c. ---

I actually did better on Tuesday’s test. Still in the 30s, though. I just test myself for fun. I can’t imagine wanting to be on the show (all I imagine is public humiliation). ---

I took Thursday’s test: [https://www.jeopardy.com/Assets/jeopardy/clues/adult\_test\_2016\_d3\_clues.pdf](https://www.jeopardy.com/Assets/jeopardy/clues/adult_test_2016_d3_clues.pdf) The supposed answers: 1 Gables 2 Ultron 3 lever 4 Carson City 5 Sikh 6 Pizarro 7 Michener 8 Ramadan 9 Sodom and Gomorrah 10 spinach 11 regatta 12 Ontario 13 White Stripes 14 Patricai Cornwell 15 John Quincy Adams 16 symbiosis 17 sonata 18 nave 19 lexicon 20 Eat, Pray, Love 21 Clara Barton 22 petition 23 The Tempest 24 fifth 25 Tierra Del Fuego 26 Law & Order 27 Mr. Darcy 28 bases 29 Kanye West 30 Saudi Arabia 31 Australia 32 mongrel 33 Vines 34 melting pot 35 The Jungle 36 Yosemite 37 Jennifer Aniston 38 Amnesty International 39 MRI 40 Vincent Van Gogh 41 lipstick 42 Gaelic 43 Rangers 44 Mayan 45 Ta-Nehisi Coates 46 waltz 47 cube root 48 Daniel Day-Lewis 49 The Grinch 50 alchemy I probably only got about 30-32 right. I should probably start cramming if I ever actually want to be on the show. ---

> [@BwanaBob](#): > > However, a type of stamp that was discontinued in the 1970’s was Special Delivery. The last one issued carried a rate of 60c. Most domestic mail was being sent Special Delivery anyway??? No, the correct answer is airmail. ---

Wow, did the worst on that last one\*!\* Question #47: **MATH** Two word term for what 3 is to 27 The listed answer is **‘cube root’** which is correct, but wouldn’t **‘prime factor’** also be right? ---

Or even “one ninth.” Although I suppose that’s not really a “term.” ---

> [@panache45](#): > > Most domestic mail was being sent Special Delivery anyway??? No, the correct answer is airmail. I don’t care if the show said that was the answer, it is at best an incomplete answer. Overseas air mail and the appropriate airmail stamps were not discontinued then. Only “Domestic airmail” stamps were discontinued. I wasn’t suggesting that Special Delivery was the correct answer; just coincidentally that service was discontinued at that timeframe.
