That written test was so freakin' hard it permanently disabused me of that kind of thinking. I'm not sure I got even three questions right. All were MUCH more difficult than the q's you see on the TV box and don't ask me for a sample--to this day I can't remember even one of them. I suppose it's part of the weeding out process that ensures they get the best of the best for the show, but man oh man, what an ego deflation! PS Only one person out of 75 qualified to continue on the television pre-screen process.

My 4th/7th & 8th grade teacher was on Jeopardy and he kicked some ass and blew it all in Final Jeopardy. Not sure what the question/answer was but the answer/question was supposed to be Jolly Rancher and he said something dumb.
