I think I did better than last time, but I wasn't really keeping track. Not that I did great.

Haha, at the last second I realized the star was "Sirius" and I typed in "Siri". HOPE IT COUNTS. I definitely got around 30. Maybe 32 or 33 if I'm lucky. My best year ever definitely..Gotta study next year to have a shot.

At least I hope so because I let time run out on each one intentionally because my touchpad on my laptop does weird poo poo sometimes.

drat it I typed "Meyers" instead of "Meyer" for the Host/Twilight question, which probably won't count as simply misspelling if they go by show rules. I feel like I did average overall, I'm not sure though. Definitely not good enough to get called.

Oh yeah, I did remember Washington Irving at least. My self-respect is partially restored. I'm sure I broke 35, but I definitely didn't do as well as last year. Edit: I can't tell if I got the stamp question right, I guessed Ben Franklin (because hey, first postmaster general, why not) but wikipedia says there were Franklin and George Washington stamps?

Oh nice, 42 or 43 (depending on if I got Johnathan Swift in time), that's about as good as last year, then. What was the Queen Victoria question? I don't remember that at all.

43 (charitably 44 if they accept Catherine for Catherine de Medici which is admittedly unlikely). edit: Be nice seeing you next year, when I look you up again, score.

In non-test stuff, that final category was a dick move. It put my mind in a completely different place than "who invented the telegraph."

I've never taken the test before, are you guys scoring yourselves by actually keeping track of what you wrote? How do you do that in 15 seconds?

That makes sense, it's less about remembering the question and more about remembering whether or not you typed "Green Eggs and Ham" in the last 5 minutes.

jscolon2.0 posted:43 (charitably 44 if they accept Catherine for Catherine de Medici which is admittedly unlikely). Wouldn't they accept that? Seems like the "de Medici" is assumed since it was stated as part of the question. Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:That was the penny black stamp question, I think. I had no idea. Huh. I'll have to see that question again, maybe I didn't read it right on the test. But yeah, my answer on it was a total guess. Edit: "First sold in 1840, the “Penny Black” & the “Two Penny Blue” both featured this person" that'll teach me for assuming they meant American stamps, still that's kind of a ridiculous question.

I'm taking the test on Thursday, but my score on this one would have been 35. I am wondering if the difficulty levels are going to be as different as they were last year.

escape artist posted:I'm taking it Thursday, too. I dunno, it all depends on what categories you're good at. I seem to remember that, for me, Thursday would have been the best (I think I took Wednesdays,) because it had a larger proportion of science and math questions, and less literature/poetry. That being said, I'm taking it tonight, so I hope it's not a repeat of what last year was like for me...  Edit: Looks like I would have gotten 32-34 had I taken it last night.

I would've gotten 25 had I taken it last night, which is definitely not show material, but I enjoy the challenge regardless. I'm gonna take it "for real" tonight.

Wow...I think the only way tonight's Final Jeopardy could have been easier is if they went with the other big political death of 2013, Nelson Mandela. But seriously, Thatcher? That's a fuckin' $200 question. I can't believe that one guy got it wrong. Edit: Ok, the test page isn't letting me log in...it keeps saying "log in 30 minutes prior to the test." Uhh...the test is in less than 20 minutes...can anyone else log in, yet? I remember past years it was pretty reliable to log in about 30 minutes prior.
