JAYMC on Jeopardy! TODAY! (SPOILERS Y'ALL)

Yeah the Final Jeopardy category choice was RIDICULOUS. In the best sense. And of course being me I was thinking "4AD? Merge?" And it turns out to be something I thought was easy, but clearly wasn't based on the other two.

haha i saw that one in the newspaper yesterday (you know how they run printed final jeopardies as an ad for the show) and got hung up on the pounds sterling aspect, thinking it had to be a clue. "Solid Gold Records???"

Holy shit Donna killed it

Great wagers on her part. She must have won about 3/4 of her total on wagers.

That was awesome! Lol at the final topic

there is no way you were actually thinking the right answer was 4AD or Merge!

Did donna post under any other names? I’m an excited an ilxor triumphed but I’m not sure I ever interacted with her.

there is no way you were actually thinking the right answer was 4AD or Merge!

Probably before the reveal of the answer (question).

I remember seeing her name around these parts, but tbh the only times I've ever interacted with her are in our little ilxor Neko Atsume fb group.

Maybe she’ll come back now

She was posting as Morley Timmons - but it's been a while.

NB that DB is on again today / this evening!

also NB that we won't have watched it with her until 8pm Pacific time, when it airs.

YASSSSSSS, crushin smug Scott Baio!

really strange betting in final jeopardy on donna's xmas day appearance!

nah, i get it. if the other gal had beet just enough to surpass donna's total, then donna hedges by outbetting her slightly.

it's a betting strategy that works only if everyone gets that question right though.

that first day from donna was massive; great game!

this was so totally excellent! never been more proud to not be able to stop reading a message board

"Donna, are you having a good time?"

wanted to hit trebek in the mouth so hard that his mustache grew back for that

seriously. I bet his son's Mexican restaurant sucks, too

i took the test online tonight kind of on a whim, i know i got at least half of them right, but i think 35 out of 50 is the cutoff so idk abt that. im gonna forgot about this for a few months then watch a grip of episodes on netflix again and say "hey maybe i should take the jeopardy test."

how long does the test take?

sorry, i'm not sure why i asked that. what is about 50 questions x about 5-10 seconds each?

correct. you have control of the board.

(it may have been 15 seconds per question, i just went into a fugue state and tried pretyping "what is" before i read each clue)

i'm about 4 beers in, have been high since the obama administration. it's time for me to take the test

i'm gonna take the teen practice test

ANSWER:

B
J

What is B on J?

i got 13 of 30 on the practice test. so basically, if i try harder and focus more, i got this.

wait, i have to make a MYJEOPARDY! account in order to do this for real? uuuuuugh...i can't do this

i got 13 of 30 on the practice test.

ended up taking the adult one. i think i will go ahead and do the teen and college ones too though! wild sunday

16/30 on the practice test without cheating (20/30 with quick googling)

patrick's record-setting low score tonight was a very rough watch

oops meant to put this on the general jeopardy thread but oh well!
