Jeopardy Online Test

Corrected immediately, if not sooner. . . don't shoot. More, the merrier.

Last thread we had on this, two years back, was most amusing.

 

I just signed up. I'm going out with friends tomorrow night so it looks like I'm taking it Thursday night at 11 p.m.

 

By the way, it's horseshit they don't tell you your score.

 

Given their margins of forgiveness on spelling and the volume of players, it's a lot to ask.

 

Can you take it if it's scheduled out of your time zone? And If you take the Eastern Time Zone test, can you take the Central and Pacific as well?

 

Nope we had one last year. I wasn't actively posting in January 2007 and I remember taking the test and getting my ass kicked compared to some other members.

And I missed my chance to redeem myself by 51 minutes. Damn. I was ready too.

 

You can take a different time schedule, but you can only take one. So if you're working during one, you can take it at a different night, but you can't just take it the next night because you sucked.

 

I did it during work. If I had a bit more time to think I could've come up with more answers. As it is, I think for the first time ever taking it, I'm sure I got above 30.

 

Tomorrow night's is too early for me.
Dagnabbit!

I apologize for the harsh language, but this always happens.
It's quite vexing.

 

Read all the questions aloud as I was working it, and a friend recorded it, so have them all.

Toughest one (I thought) for someone with legitimate broad general knowledge and
a good feel for general Jeopardy tendencies:

The world's second-largest island (just behind Greenland) . . . ?

 

It's New Guinea, but I had the advantage of being able to look it up.

 

Then there was:

Identify the sculptures (named for an English nobleman) which once adorned the Parthenon.
