Anyone take it tonight?

I took it for the third time. I think I did better than I have in the past, but I'd be surprised if I got more than 35 correct.

Kicking myself on a couple of them, including Led Zeppelin and the Sphinx.
 
Those tests are impossible. There's hardly any sports questions.
 
Is it still possible to take this test? I am in the mood for getting my ass kicked.

Not tonight ... it runs again tomorrow at 9 eastern and Thursday at 11 eastern. I know you have to pre-register, but I'm not sure if it's too late or not.
 
I imagine the questions will be up online soon. I'll post them if I find them somewhere.
 
They really need to change Jeopardy. They should focus it around sports.
 
Hmmmm...I have to choose between getting four questions right or watching American Idol? Not a tough call.

Registration is closed, so no.

I'm already in the pool for the rest of the year, so I couldn't take any of the tests this go-around.

Happened to watch that Monday edition, and it was one of the worst trios I've seen in awhile. The gal in the middle went into Final Jeopardy with $9,200 and it was already a huge runaway. The dude in the sweater vest was particularly smarmy.

That is, technically, a correct question. I think he should have gotten credit for it.
 
Taking the test tomorrow. I have no idea if I passed last year, but since I never got a call I guess not. I remember the test being a whole lot harder than the questions on the show.
 
I took it last night. Fumbled a few of them. I too, was quite displeased there were no Sports Questions.

Hmph.
 
Surprisingly, I have yet to see anyone post the questions online. Last year, I thought they went up rather quickly after the test.

In fact, no, I was not looking hard enough. :D
