Peter Daou Bundy posted:everytime i think im really smart for winning at HQ, i look at the Jeopardy try out page test. how do these people know so god drat much about the most banal poo poo. It's really just a function of being curious and noticing stuff. It's also a healthy dose of knowing Jeopardy tropes and pavlovs. Much of the time, a convoluted question is just asking what the capital of Kentucky is in a convoluted way. And if they ask about a Finnish composer, it's going to be Sibelius. For the record, I've passed the Jeopardy test 3 times but was absolute crap at HQ. It's a different beast.

Alex Trebek is such a prick. "Heh, Johnny made it sound like a large number but actually the winner's total is actually below average. "

Do they not have wildcards in this tournament or did they just not announce them on Friday?

Speaking of, I can't recall any Jeopardy! tournament of any kind where more contestants visibly appeared to forget they were playing for wildcard spots. That one on Friday had $15k in the bank and should have just put the buzzer down until the semis.

That final was super hard, what the gently caress is plumbago/lumbago? Never heard of either of those things

A Typical Goon posted:That final was super hard, what the gently caress is plumbago/lumbago? Never heard of either of those things Yeah, I didn't even get close either. I've heard of lumbago (not sure what it is, other than a back problem) but never plumbago. I'd reason it's based off Latin plumbum in the same way that we call graphite "lead" in a pencil.

For the sake of clarity, I'm gonna abandon the backward Jeopardy usages of "clue" and "answer", that poo poo's confusing. It was a trash Final Jeopardy answer. Like, the question was perfectly constructed to lead you to the answer "plumbago". It's just that plumbago is a super archaic word that peaked in the 1750s and practically nobody knows it now, so it just feels like you have to make up a nonsense word and hope it's right.

I FB friended him through the Jeopardy contestants network and there's nothing overtly furry in his profile page, but then again, it isn't something you advertise, now is it? The paw thing is just him saying he likes tigers, but that seems like something a furry would say.

The paw thing is just him saying he likes tigers, but that seems like something a furry would say. In his earlier appearances he said something about playing piano in a tiger costume at a furry convention if you connected the dots. Most furries I know aren't super into having that be their whole identity. They're mostly fairly normal folks who occasionally suit up and do the whole fandom thing. It also tends to be one of those things where the IRL identity and the fandom identity are rarely seen in the same room at the same time.
