Don't forget about Sporcle. Also, Chuck Forrest and Mark Lowenthal's wonderful book, and On The Tip of My Tongue.

Ughhh...serious brain cramp tonight. I think I only scored 30-32.

Re: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
As most predicted, the two stars, Arthur and Julia, have advanced to the finals. Who will join them? I think it will be Ben Ingram, but I may be a bit biased since he's from my home state. Regardless, I think it will be a fascinating final!

Re: Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions Prediction Challenge
I'm going with Arthur, Ben, and Julia in the finals, with Arthur taking it in a nail-biter.

Re: Jeopardy Sexism?
I guess it's always bad to lump a huge group together with the idea that they all want the same things. But, that being said, often "women's" magazines will have articles based on this very question. There's even been a major motion picture with this very name.

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase" (Spoilers for The Chase)
Count me as one of Brooke's fans. I think she's stunningly beautiful, a little on the skinny side, but I'm not one of those folks who automatically hates the rail-thin people. And she does a great job of reading those clues quickly, and engaging in witty banter with the contestants and the Beast. I ...

Why do you think the Twitter universe is so cruel? Why can't people make comments without getting personal like that?

Re: Thursday, July 10, 2014 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
I really enjoyed this game. Jen impressed me with that FJ get. I'm guessing that's going to poll VERY low. I think maybe she overbet in FJ, though. If Pete had only bet $7,600, which I think is very reasonable (to cover a Jen all-in), then she would have lost if she had gotten the response wrong. If...

Good to have you on the boards, Campbell. You're a strong player. I'm very familiar with Ft. Jackson. I was in the Army National Guard in the late 80's and early 90's, and even though I did my initial training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, my home unit was in SC, and we sometimes did training at Ft. Jack...

Instaget on FJ for me. Kay could have won that game if she had simply limited her FJ bet to no more than $5,000.

Like a few other boardies, I said Guam and Puerto Rico. Totally forgot about the Virgin Islands. If you search Wikipedia for Point Udall, it comes up with two links. The link for Guam says it is considered the Westernmost point in the US, and the link for the Virgin Islands says it is considered the...

I thought this test was much harder than the Eastern test. I scored 42 on that one, just 36 on this one. I learned a lot from both tests, though, and did some follow-up research which I hope sticks. Now, onto the Pacific test!

Re: Online Test Recap & Discussion (Eastern), January 7, 2014
Just took it on paper and scored 42. I tried to give myself only about 15 seconds/question max. Kicking myself for misreading the category and responding "Georgia" instead of "Atlanta". Good enough to progress to the interview, theoretically?

Jennifer is such a wonderful champion. She's beginning to remind me of Julia, who started out with some close games, then she started getting comfortable and the lockouts started coming.

Or maybe you could have changed the phraseology slightly and wrote "...there was no score AT THE END OF the 1st quarter", which I think leaves no room for ambiguity.

Re: Monday, June 23, 2014 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
I got "Spamalot" in my head for FJ and knew it couldn't have made $1B, but I couldn't get it out of my head long enough to come up with "The Lion King". Lots of musicals were swirling around in my head, but not that one. Alison impressed me with that correct wager. With that kind...
