PromoTheRobot Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Jeopardy is so much easier than it used to be. The dumbing down continues. Not the contestant test, let me tell you. Just finished. I'm guessing I got 35 of 50. (They don't tell you how you did.) Probably not strong enough to get invited for an interview. Had a couple of brain farts on answers I knew, but they asked some doosies. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Jeopardy test info. Too late to take it this year. But you can sign up to get a reminder e-mail when they start registering for 2013. I did this in 2011 as well and I did much better today.

PTR Just took it too PTR...I got 42 out of 50 correct, 4 toss ups, 4 definitely incorrect. Kicking myself over the Neptune one. I got an audition for Teen Jeopardy several years back but didn't get on the show. Good luck to ya! I wish I knew what the barrier is for getting an audition...I wonder if it's a pre-determined score or a specific percentile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR Funny thing is, my 10 year old self would've nailed that one without a second thought. I incessantly read solar system books as a kid. But for some reason I said Saturn. Like you said, brain farts. Edited January 18, 2012 by SageAgainstTheMachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims a lot of it is the subjective views of the producers as to who makes it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think Jeopardy is a little more equal opportunity, though. You still see quite a few 40 year old virgin types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I took the online test too. I don't think I did very well. I made it to the second round of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tryouts in Cleveland about 10 years ago, but I didn't get a call back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
