Is everybody ready for the J! tests this week???

[MarleysGh0st]

Everyone sitting here watching the clock count down?

I think their clock is a couple minutes slow!

[DaveSenior72]

Just finished it...

Doesn't seem like it was as hard as the one I took a couple years ago

[ghostjmf]

I have never tanked anything so badly in my life. Okay, make that "any test". Except the one in a dream, the classic dream, where I had to show up for a test in a course I didn't know I was enrolled in. Yup. Had that one once.

Even the ones I knew I had brain freeze on. Then I had finger-freeze. Then I misspelled. Gaaa.

It was scary.

On the bright side, if the Bus comes around again here this summer, I will be free to go stand in line at it.

so Dave what was the answer to the Sports Question?

[frogman042]

Just finished it (or rather it just finished me).

Much harder then previous ones I've taken in my opinion - it will be close but I doubt that I made the cut-off.

I hate when I knew an answer and somehow didn't get it typed in on time.

I wish that is the only thing I did wrong.

[Kazoo65]

I just finished taking it.

There was LOTS of recent pop culture stuff on it.

Now I just have to wait to see if they invite me to Chicago. I think I did better on it this year.

That's how mine felt - much better than the last try. A couple idks and one brain fart - but it feels like low fortys.

We'll see - I guess they will be in Charlotte this summer - let's see if I've earned a call.

[DaveSenior72]

Don't remember the question...

And I brain-farted on Benjamin Button

It was the recent pop culture and sports that killed me.

[gotribego26]

Don't remember the question...

And I brain-farted on Benjamin Button

So did I.

[ghostjmf]

I froze on so many questions I knew the answer to that I can't even rightly gauge how many I really didn't know.

Bad stuff happened in the real world of "here" today. Bad bad bad. Not to me specifically as yet, but bad.

Guess I let it get to me?

[MarleysGh0st]

Don't remember the question...

And I brain-farted on Benjamin Button

So did I.

I knew I didn't even have a chance on that one.

[gotribego26]

so Dave what was the answer to the Sports Question?

PM Sent

[Rafferbee]

I guessed Madagascar for the second-largest island one.

[goongas]

I found it hard, although the sports and recent pop culture I got right. I forgot Poe wrote the first mystery story, for instance. I did not get the island question right, answer they want from my Googling afterwards is New Guinea, I think.

so Dave what was the answer to the Sports Question?

PM Sent

Everyone took this test at the same time and there'll be different tests tomorrow and Thursday, so you don't need to worry about spoilers.

[MarleysGh0st]

I guessed Madagascar for the second-largest island one.

New Guinea, IIRC.

[gotribego26]

I guessed Madagascar for the second-largest island one.

It's New Guinea

[DaveSenior72]

It's New Guinea

OK, I missed that...or timed out on it...

[gsabc]

Don't remember the question...

So did I.

Ditto, but that was the only one I missed in the first ten. I nailed this one! Virtually certain I got 40 or more. Plus at least two that I recalled about a question too late. Gotta look up one, because it's gonna bother me otherwise. One of those answers just sitting in the back of my mind and it just won't come forward.

I had the right nationality and first name

[Rafferbee]

New Guinea's what Wikipedia says. I feel like this one was easier than the test last year.

I did that so often it wasn't funny. I want to work out a way to get through this without looking at the damn clock next year. But you have to hit "submit" or your answer won't count either. And to see the "submit" square you have to look at the clock.

Tell me I'm wrong, someone.
