The Jeopardy! contestant test is later this month. You can go here to register.

Re: Jeopardy!
Thanks for the heads-up! I may have to try for that, being a master of arcane knowledge and all. I enjoy trouncing people at Trivial Pursuit, so I figure I have as good a shot as anyone at Jeopardy.
Re: Jeopardy!
The test is challenging, but not terribly so. When I took the test live 10 or so years ago, we stated with about 125 or so in the studio and after the test ended up with 12 people. It's basically the same type of questions as in the game, mostly at the higher dollar levels. I want to say it was 50 questions and we had 15 or 20 minutes to do it. Sorry, it's been awhile.
If you regularly trounce the contestants when you play at home, you should have no trouble.
Good luck!
Re: Jeopardy!
Last year I passed the test AND the live audition, but the following year passed without my being invited out to LA. I'll try again this year.
Re: Jeopardy!
Yeah, I think David's time in the contestant pool (after passing the live test) was up in September. We've been keeping an eye on the Brain Bus tour, but it hasn't come to this area again yet. I'll have to mention the online test to him.

Re: Jeopardy!
I just registered for the online test. If I get onto the show, and have no idea what the Final Jeopardy answer is, I might be tempted to write "DONDEROOOOOOO!!!" on that blue answer screen thingie.
Maybe.

That would be the awesomest.

Re: Jeopardy!
Jake, I'm sorry, your answer must be in the form of a question. The correct question to the answer "crazy as a shithouse rat" was "Who is DONDEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?"

Trebek: Our category is 'Political Figures.' The answer: This former Congressional staffer is the REAL author of the much-discussed Ron Paul newsletters. Players, 30 seconds.

Trebek: Jake, let's start with you. You wrote "Who is DONDEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?" That is correct. Your wager? Gold-backed currency. Interesting.
