20 of 30 here. Nice work for the local pub quiz, but it's gonna come up short for Sports J!, I'm afraid.

I took the test using this video:

3:32 is the best thing I've heard all week. I stopped laughing once I got here and found out I was wrong with:

Hank Aaron
I had 21/30, so normal for me on such tests as a sports fan, but not fanatic.

So generally, when would a potential callback be?

That was one of the tougher questions, I think. Hank Aaron and Honus Wagner are the closest wrong answers. Hornsby is not quite in the range.Lampy wrote:I do know it'sMarkBarrett wrote: 3:32 is the best thing I've heard all week. I stopped laughing once I got here and found out I was wrong with:

Looks like I got 19/30.
Spoiler
Blanked on Allyson Felix, even though it just happened last month.
Saw Sixer and Rocket, and thought of Moses Malone and didn't pay attention to Sun.
Said only lines instead of blue lines.
My first thought was Rondo, but I changed it to Ray Allen.
Said the Bednarik instead of Outland.
Said slalom instead of freestyle skiing.
No idea about the Wild- didn't know it was a Prince song.
Said halfback instead of sweeper.
Said javelin instead of discus.
Blanked on Arturo Gatti.
Said helmsman instead of coxswain.

Didn't study or take the test, after asking the folks here what they would recommend. Amusingly enough, I would have finished with 21/30.sherder wrote:
Given the difficulty of the questions, I doubt that's enough to make the next round, and I would definitely not want to burn up my one shot even if it was. (Guys like jeff and 9021myers would eat my lunch)

25/30 here. A few months into my first swim in the J! pool, fingers crossed I make the cut for an audition here as well.
