Taking the online Jeopardy test for the first time tonight. Fully prepared to have all my dreams crushed by the internet.
And by that I mean, swiftly weeded out before I have a chance to embarrass myself and my family on national television.

I got far less of those questions than I'd like to admit.

My wife and I were second-guessing ourselves for final Jeopardy tonight. It was such an obvious and easy answer, we figured it much be a trick.

Holy poo poo Padraic's face when he realizes he won :haw:

Padraic was leading, but Andrew made a ballsy bet on a Daily Double that got him ahead. Nobody got Final Jeopardy right, but Andrew risked way too much and ended up behind.

I was excited tonight to see a category I knew I'd go all-in for for Final Jeopardy. I was surprised that none of the three got Firefox, but I suppose Chrome has kinda eclipsed it as the default browser people use instead of IE.

I also did a lot better in the Georgia O'Keefe category than I thought I would. That one about groups of nations/territories killed me, though.

Being an IT guy, I try to remember that I might have a disproportionately good knowledge of "nerdy" stuff, but I thought Firefox was relatively mainstream (and the first animal-named program I can think of other than MacOS X versions).

I recall the players the other day doing pretty well at the iOS/Android app category, though.

By the way, I'm shocked that Life of Pi was a triple-stumping Final Jeopardy.

I just so happened to come across the answer in like a Buzzfeed or something of letters written by US President last week, so I knew it right away. I don't know how long ago the episode was filmed, but I probably wouldn't have known it then.

Signed up for the test. Let's see if I can do as poorly as I did last year!

I think I did better than last time, but I wasn't really keeping track. Not that I did great.

In non-test stuff, that final category was a dick move. It put my mind in a completely different place than "who invented the telegraph."

I think "metal heads" should have counted.

Yeah, I expected them to throw him the points after the commercial. I have a lot of friends into metal and that's usually what I hear. I think?

But :lol: at "skinheads"

My new DVR was recording the reruns because it couldn't figure out they weren't new episodes. Time to set a new series recording!

Doesn't the delay start small, then get bigger over the season as the backlog of episodes pile up? I forget how it works.

I mean I got it because it was on TV last week so it was fresh in my brain. But I don't know how long ago this was filmed. My mind doesn't normally jump to Christmas movies outside of December.
