I can’t play since I was already on the show last year, and finished dead last… talk about the end of a childhood dream. Sob! I got 48, blowing the Monday Night Football singer and guessing, wrongly, Edna St. Vincent Millay as the 3-named poetess. Good luck to all. ---

I’m grateful for this thread–I had forgotten that this was Online Test time. I was able to register this afternoon, and just finished taking the test. (I’m kicking myself for a few ‘realized the answer a second too late’ moments, but…well, we shall see.🆒) ---

I don’t think I’m eligible. I did a tryout in September of 2012, so I haven’t reached the end of the 18-month period where I can be called onto the show. ---

I got 32, with several that I should have gotten but blanked on. There were a couple that I absolutely didn’t know so I can’t claim a blank on those. I’m not taking the test. I do very well yelling at the tv, but I would not do well on the show. And I’m terrible in geography and Broadway shows. Which they seem to love. ---

> [@Ponch8](#): > > I don’t think I’m eligible. I did a tryout in September of 2012, so I haven’t reached the end of the 18-month period where I can be called onto the show. Recheck the rules.
