Everyone who sees that final category and doesn't bet the house is dumb. That was always gonna be Silent Spring with an outside shot at In Cold Blood.

I got hung up trying to think of the comedy since I figured those nabbing best actor/actress are more rare and easier to narrow down but failed because As Good As It Gets is such a forgettable movie.

I was pretty pleased with myself for getting it, but I had to work forward from Ankara cause if you'd asked me an hour ago what the capital of Australia was I would've said Sydney.

That's the best kind of FJ, where no one will actually know it but it's right there in plain sight if you find the first link of the chain. I was surprised the champ did so poorly, I was pretty impressed with her yesterday and thought she'd make a run. Though I think this was a really easy game, which should favor buzzer skills over knowledge.

"Bull Run" and "Bunker Hill" for an event re-enacted at Little Big Horn, Montana are up there with the dumbest answers I've ever heard. I'm betting the first guy thought "Sitting Bull" and then that got garbled but the second one I have no idea.

44 if the test is about as lenient on spelling as the show is. Missed Orinoco, asparagus, Sutter Mill, Eudora Welty (froze and spat out Carson McCullars at the last second), lion (said mountain lion), rivet (no excuse, somehow got to "rebar").

I guess I can see how you might jump from "Greek" to there but that's a really bad answer. There should be a check in your head where you stop and ask yourself "Does Jeopardy really want me to say that?", like with "sperm bank" a few days ago.

It's not like there's any integrity to this portion of the process anyway and this is just the broadest preliminary prescreening.

I think I did OK but I almost misspelled "blue" so who knows. Easier than the one I got last year where I was definitely short of 35 but harder than the two or three years before where I got around 42 or so. There's always a really wide variance across the three tests like they're not trying too hard to balance it.

I guess the pop culture categories are harder to judge consistency cause it's harder to study like you would for the finer arts, a lot of it is either you've seen/heard something or you haven't. How hard was the Deadpool one if you've seen the movie?
