A Way for Mike to Become Even Nerdier
What is to try out for Jeopardy?
Jeopardy is conducting an online contestant search this week. For my time zone, it's Wednesday evening.
If I pass the exam, then I might have to fly somewhere like Orlando to participate in a mock run-through of the game and interview.
I checked out a book on Jeopardy from the library. The sample entrance exam is actually harder than the game.
Past winners say you can't really study for something like this, except for a few things:
American presidents
U.S. States (capitals, nicknames, etc.)
World capitals and cities
The Oscars
Shakespeare
Another thing I would add that may not have come up in my literature review, but is one of my weak spots:
English monarchs (some French Monarchs as well)
So I'll put off some of my more trivial hobbies to prepare for this trivial endeavour.
