I used to do well when I watched Jeopardy. The last few years when I watch I often know that that I know an answer, but can’t bring it to the forefront. I’m not sure if it is age or just a fallout from my Chronic Fatigue. In any case, I no longer think I could compete well on the show. ---

I would do just fine on **Jeopardy** as it is. No one lets me play Trivial Pursuit, either. ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > Years ago, VH1 had _Rock And Roll Jeopardy_. I watched it for years and saw at least 100 episodes. In that time, I got three questions wrong. Are you Mark McGrath? He tore up that show. I tend to do well with questions on science, movies, Simpsons, the law and legal history (tore up a before-and-after category about the Supreme Court the other day, can’t believe those contestants missed “Beatrix Potter Stewart”), and the Bible (I’m an atheist now, but I went to a Catholic high school and had years of religion classes). If I were going to become a contestant, I’d most need to study geography, particularly rivers, lakes, and mountains. They ask a LOT of questions about rivers and mountains. ---

Another vote for Rock and Roll Jeopardy. In fact, I wish Sony would release a version of that for the PS3. ---

I’ve been watching Jeopardy! for 20 years, and I bet they’ve had two hundred baseball questions or more. I have known every answer. ---
