...to try out for "who wants to be a millionaire."
This should be interesting. I don't know how long this process will take, but I'll try to update as interesting things happen (if anything interesting happens).

I guess I don't want to be a millionaire that bad.......good luck.

Channel 9 was just intrviewing someone right in front of me. I did my best to Give the stiff creepy look into the camera the whole time.

I just recieved my ****official who wants to be a millionaire pencil**** for the written test.

bdeg · 06-29-2009, 06:45 AM

so how many people are down there in line?

Sully · 06-29-2009, 06:49 AM

I'm guessing 500. I don't know how many already went in for the first testing session.

I wonder if, when I reach a question I don't know, I should write in big letters, "Deal!" or "No Whammies!"

Sully · 06-29-2009, 06:54 AM

Going in for the test... Stay tuned. There's a couple in lone "practicing" by reading trivial pursuit cards to each other.

Years ago I tried out for Jeopardy!. About 75 of us in a large room took a written test of trivia questions. I've always prided myself in being fairly good in Trivia-type games and somewhat knowledgable in useless and arcane facts. I figured what-the-hell, give it a shot.

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.

**Saulbadguy** · 06-29-2009, 07:00 AM

I would probably get as many as you can right but if you start getting all of them right, get some wrong on purpose.

Also, between each question tell a long and uninteresting story about yourself and why you may or may not know the answer.

The Planet has been in attack mode lately. Is this a good thread to shed blood? Being a n00b I don't want to overstep any boundries.
