relatively easy day 2 -- but damn that wine question. (in my defense, you can't expect anyone under 21 to know anything about wine, can you?)

PARALLEL 2: this one was fairly easy US history. 4: totally blanked on this one and went with a really stupid guess in "high jump". would've been better off just leaving it blank. 6: the only reason I know Blondie is because of my history teacher sophomore year, who used to play it frequently in cla...

Kids/Teens (although I'm doubtful that it'll actually yield anything, but let's do this!)

EDIT: oh and ATB + college also

Anyone gotten a call for TT auditions yet? Seems like adult tests have had crazy turnaround.

Because I have now taken a test, I would like to be reverted to my default rank, whatever that may be.

Thanks.

Hello! HS Sophomore here, going for my shot at getting on the show. Hope you did well!

I got 35/50. Here's what I missed. 2 scruff (left blank) 14 The Great Gatsby (wrote Puddin'Head Wilson which is nowhere near correct and to be honest I'm not sure how I decided that'd be a good guess. I haven't read Gatsby since 5th grade and don't remember anything from it, so I'm not surprised I g...

That makes the second J! champ running for office this cycle, I believe -- Richard Cordray is running for Governor of Ohio. Dave Belote was also running in VA's 2nd district (and had a darn good chance of winning), but unfortunately dropped out.

I had The Power of Positive Thinking for some weird reason. Don't recall who that was written by now, however

I'm curious if anyone guessed Bono for FJ because that is a really good wrong answer. U2 is the only act other than Adele to win each of those awards twice; however, their first Album of the Year came in 1988 (all of the other wins were since 2001). As a big fan of U2 myself, Bono did cross my mind...

Weak clues tonight. Charlie Chaplin in Great Dictator as a DD, Voltaire at 1600, and Byron at 2000 was just pitiful. Coryat today was 19600. 6400 at J, 13200 in DJ, and as expected all 3 DDs were correct. Took me a while to get to Adele for FJ (for some reason I was thinking of Kanye, Jay-Z, and Bru...

(Slightly OT: Anyone using the J-Scorer app promoted on these boards: is the Stats page broken for you too?) Stats is working for me. I was somewhat disappointed with the Back in Black category. Seemed a bit too easy for me. Coryat today was 18000, 5200 in Round 1, and 12800 during Round 2. I misse...

Cheers Steve for this great tool of yours. I personally find it a bit tedious to keep Coryats by hand so I end up just using a regular scorer to play along. Previously I hadn't seen a Coryat scorekeeping tool anywhere so avoided it until then. But this will certainly be useful for when Monday rolls ...

Or, failing that, an actual lyrebird: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15s9mk

What are the chances we are able to teach the lyrebird English?

They haven't held a teen test in almost 2 years, hopefully this is my shot.

I just wanted to commend you guys on the incredible work you all have done building this fantastic resource up. I use j-archive clues to study for quiz bowl, and it's been a big help. If there's any way I can support the work, monetarily or morally, please don't hesitate to ask.

Every time I click back to Billboard.com, it plays a little snippet of Despacito, which until today I had head exactly none of. Interesting story: At the global leadership conference I was at this summer, every night we had a thing called "scholar networking" basically where we all gathered in the ...
