Jeopardy won this year, but we will try again....

Just a shot of the boots that Jeopardy-Online-Test used to kick our butts. Dan and I worked together, as we only have one PC*, on the Jeopardy-Online-Test. Our lack of knowledge was so astounding that we couldn't help but feel pride at the extent to which we failed. To think, that we thought by simply watching the show, and sometimes even answer the majority of questions, that we could actually qualify or compete on a basic level was a lesson in humility. We couldn't even list the capital of West Virginia. We were convinced that our immediate answer was actually the capital of South Carolina....Which it was. They're the same. Imagine our frusteration. Not to say that by any means, was that the the make-or-break question that stood in the way of our success, but simply an illustration of the of self doubt and debate that occured during the slice of time (15 seconds) that was alloted for typing in the correct response. Needless to say, "pass" was entered automatically by the computer more times than not in our Jeopardy-Online-Test.

* As a side note: we could have registered to compete in different time zones, which would have fixed this problem, as the tests would have been performed on different nights. But as Jeopardy-Online-Test proved, we are not yet worthy.
