Re: Does anyone outside this board care about your trivia knowledge?
There is no mechanism in this world where we can exchange our type of knowledge for a reward every day, like lawyers or doctors do. Just imagine for a second if there was. Funny thing is, this actually exists now, it's called FleetWit. They run a freeroll every Sunday night (8:30 ET) and they have ...

Re: J! Archive suggestion
My one suggestion for the j-archive would be to recruit new volunteer archivists (maybe easier said than done).
The j-archive is one of my favorite things in the world and I owe so much to it, so I don't mean this as a criticism, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Can't load j-archive/jboard
For some reason I haven't been able to load j-archive or jboard on my wi-fi for several days. From what I can tell, all other sites are working as normal. What could have caused this, any ideas for me? I tried a DNS flush but that didn't fix it.

Re: Buzzer Speed of Older Folks
Buzzer speed is irrelevant. Buzzer timing is everything. What I find slowing down with age is speed of recall. Making connections between seemingly disparate pieces of information (which is what Jeopardy! really is) now takes me about 20-25% longer than it did 20 years ago. Seconded. Concerning the...

Re: Upcoming tests!
If you already took the test in Jan, you cannot take this one. My understanding is that that is not the case: https://www.jeopardy.com/be-a-contestant/contestant-faqs#online-test It states that "if you participated in the previous year’s test, you are welcome to participate in this round of testing...

Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails
Got the call! :D I thought my (second) time in the pool had expired, so there's hope for those of you who are still waiting -- the "18 months" may not be a *totally* firm deadline. Since I'm a local, I don't know if I'll actually play next week, or be brought back later. (Kind of hoping for the lat...

Re: Tuesday, July 26, 2016 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
I thought the waving at the judges over the Harry Potter ruling looked a bit awkward, but I can't blame him. Those who have been on the show: do they instruct you on how to ask the judges for a ruling? Also, do contestants ever ask the judges to review an opponent's response, saying that it was imp...

I think the general consensus is if they want you on the show, they'll call back, but I can understand not wanting to chance it.

I find it pretty gross and insensitive that you would bother to post this video and make fun of its content. Are you serious or is this dry humor? I feel as though I'm usually the one who gets (overly?) sensitive and uncomfortable about these kinds of things. (Often it involves the treatment of a c...

Golf -- I was just curious whether you've ever appeared on Jeopardy! or any other game show. Your discussions about optimal betting may be mathematically accurate. But I think it's unreasonable to expect even the most prepared contestant to always make the proper DD wagering decision. The pressure ...
