Re: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Luckily I didn't talk myself out of my first FJ impulse tonight, though Astronomy is no more my favorite category than last night's was...So I gather there's only 2 possibilities for this? I might be the only dummy who started off considering the two obvious choices, and then talked myself into a t...

Re: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

It was so cool to watch this-- Erick is the first person I've known (from real life/offline) who has gotten on J! , or any game show, as far as I'm aware. His family and mine used to attend the same church (not the one he pastors now, though it has the same linguistic setup). But we haven't really b...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour

I really appreciate a couple of posters above telling us about what their Zoom call was like. I'm not sure I'm understanding it correctly though. Would somebody mind explaining how there are 10-12 people per Zoom call, but you speak your answers out loud to an interviewer? Wouldn't you all be speak...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour

Have there been any reports about the Zoom audition process? I'm participating this week, and would like to know what I'm in for. I ordered a webcam as soon as I heard about the Zoom auditions, but apparently it's still making its way over from China, so I'm picking up a cell phone stand tonight, s...

Re: Summer Hiatus Challenge 2017--Round 1 Instant Replay thread (SPOILERS)

It looks like my score is wrong. I'm assuming I missed the 12 point question but got the others correct. I think I should have 51 points but the website shows me at 50. The standings site currently shows that you have one ungraded response; I'm assuming it's your answer of "leg" that rjag...

Re: Learned League 72 - Official Thread

Based on his name and other profile details, I feel pretty sure that a recent Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist is one of the rookies in R Highland Division 2 . I'm back in A Highland again with most of the same names from last season (though a few have been shuffled off to Glacier), along with a hand...

You may not have remembered it, Kirk, but you have seen the title before. :)

I squeaked out a win against the estimable WhitlockS, thanks in large part to my mom, who watches the show regularly.

Re: LL71: For The LLamas

When I first saw my match schedule for LL71, I immediately identified MDs 6-10 as the toughest five-day stretch of my season: four opponents with career QPcts over .850 plus a J! ToCer. Sure enough, a five-match losing streak: 7(5)-9(6), 6(5)-8(5), 7(5)-9(6), 7(5)-9(6), 8(5)-9(6). I did get a couple...

Re: LL70: For the LLamas

I lost yesterday, in a well-defended 4(4)-6(5) match. I missed both of the acronymic questions, SPDR (which I'm still smacking myself for not seeing right in front of me) and HP sauce, but he only missed the latter. I did, however, manage to snag a Best Wrong Answer for the first time! Between that,...

Re: 2016 Summer Hiatus Challenge - Round 3 Instant Replay Thread (SPOILERS)

Am I correct that "Seko" was negged for Mobutu Sese Seko? That's a bummer. Having just looked it up, I learned that Mobutu was his surname from birth, and that "Sese Seko" was (part of) a long title/name he gave himself meaning "the all-powerful warrior who, because of his e...

Re: LL70: For the LLamas

WAIT. I just saw that I apparently won the Secessionist Movements 1DS?? What??? :shock:

I was so not expecting that. I was hopeful for a high finish, but I never thought I'd actually WIN a 1DS.
