Cindy,

Where is the link on the Jeopardy site to take the online test? I just looked and couldn't find it. I would so love to be on that show!

Cindy,

You are overly modest and I am sure you would do very well on the show. The blind contestand was very good and any of the other contestants who thought he would be an easy mark were mistaken. He was very bright and very quick. I have noticed that the ones who do well combine luck on the topics with intelligence and no wild guesses. I love the show but my memory is such these days that I would not do well but I have noticed that your choice of books to scan and validate is very broad and covers all types of topics and it is that kind of reader who does well. My reading is much narrower in vield choice though I sometimes surprise myself with correct answers I have no idea I knew in topics in which I expect to do badly (like sports) so when they call you, and I believe they will, go and enjoy yourself and don't forget to tell us when you will be on.

Amy

If you watch the show, you may know that they've been
having online tests. You can sign up and then take the
test at a given time.  In the next month or so they're
doing that for college kids and teens, possibly for
younger, too.

I took the online test last spring and was invited to
the next step, which was going for the written test,
game play and interview. I'm pretty sure that's as far
as I'll get. I was one of the last 6 of my group of
20-some to be called up to play, and even though I
wrote on the form about bookshare and other stuff, I
don't think I'm interesting enough, although I think I
did well on the written test and o.k. on the short
game play. But it was a lot of fun, and if those of
you who are fans haven't tried it, I recommend it. You
know there has been at least one blind player, and I
think he did well and was in one of the  championship
contests. He looked a lot like a blind bridge player I
played against in years ago when I played duplicate,
but tht was so long ago it's probably my imagination.

Cindy
