Yet again, I have participated in the Jeopardy! Online test for adults….and while I certainly didn’t get 100% correct of the 50 clues provided, I still think I did pretty respectably. But I’m not sure if they even bother with contestants that don’t get 100%. Ah well, I know that I need to brush up on certain additional things now:
- Technical / True names for bones (damn you, clavicle!)
- Pulitzer Prize winners (damn you, Eudora Welty!)
- Famous landmarks in history (damn you, Sutter’s Mill!)
- Venezuelan Rivers (damn you, Orinoco!)
- Biblical people (damn you, Cain! damn you, Abel!)
- Poets of famous landmarks (damn you, Emma Lazarus!)
And things that paid off keeping in mind that I learned from my previous attempts at this test:
- Periodic Table of the Elements (I got you this time, Ag (aka Silver)!)
- Presidents of the US (Hey there, 4th president of the US, James Madison)
- Capitals of the World (It’s aboot time, Ottawa)
Pop culture is always something good to have in mind and luckily that shit is always stuck in my noggin so I pretty much always get those questions right. They always seem overly easy to me and are a welcome respite from the more challenging questions.
Now it’s just time to hear back and kick some ass! …..or totally freak out and earn the biggest deficit in history. 🙂
