I've got a finger for YOU, Trebek!
Jan. 26th, 2010 08:17 pm Well, the online test was quick, if not painless.
The 30 or so out of 50 I knew cold took about 5 minutes. The half dozen I stared at, KNOWING I knew the damn answer but would never come up with it in 15 seconds? Another three. The rest were split between total blanks and middling-to-dumb guesses over about two minutes and change.
There was even one with a local reference to one of my now-or-former hometowns, which I took as good karma.
Blessedly, it lets you advance as soon as you either know or pass, so I didn't have to sit and stare at answers for the full term of play.
At the risk of a jinx, I think it's the best I ever did. Which, considering my splendid history of in-person callbacks, isn't saying much.
