I believe the questions and answers will be posted on [this Jeopardy forum](http://www.jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=605) soon. Then if you remember what you answered, you can find out how you did. I think I did pretty well. I messed up Mitch McConnell. I didn’t see the category mentioned 2 M’s, and I said Mitch Daniels. I think there were 2 or 3 others I didn’t have a clue on, including Burbank. And Hamlet was visited by a ghost, but it was Macbeth who killed Banquo and was visited by his ghost. ---

Shiatsu I got, habadashery too (thank you CNR & Lidsville!) Fucking MacBeth! All I could think of was “Its the Scottish play, the Scottish play!” ---

Ugh, so terrible. Couldn’t remember if Banquo was in Hamlet or Macbeth. Of course I chose wrong. Blanked on Canberra. Thought it was “habberdasher” so I left off the y. Blargh. ---

I wonder how they’ll score misspellings when the category was 12-letter words. ---

> [@Hail\_Ants](#): > > What the hell was the Before & After one? Sang like a rolling stone & something dickens-ish?! I hate those goofy categories ones… Bob Dylan Thomas…“Like a Rolling Stone” and “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”. I wish I’d realized the category before it was too late to change my answer but I spent about 8 seconds thinking “those aren’t the same person…” :smack: ---

I blew it again. It was Verdi, right? Anyway, the same problems as everyone else. Fifteen seconds tick down fast. I think I put down acupuncture for shiatsu. I did get Canberra and the Scream, though. The Bob Dylan Thomas question threw me completely off. I said Hamlet on the Banquo question, got the Spielberg, didn’t answer on King’s Speech because I couldn’t remember. All in all, another wasted chance. ---
