Anybody know the Jeopardy bus schedule

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Tue Jan 27, 2009 7:11 pm

I sure stunk up the J! test
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Yeah I'm sure that's right, several minutes too late.

OK, so that's 2 I got right!

I've been to Switzerland and seen the Matterhorn-I was 12 at the time.

There's five I know I missed, including the last one.... I'm not a big music fan, and I drew a huge blank on the Scarpetta one. I also just figured out I typed in Bob Woodruff instead of Bob Woodward...

What is the passing score generally?

They don't say, but general consensus is 35 right.

They don't officially say, but the assumption is that it's 35.

I wish they'd do us the courtesy of telling us our score.

Yep. I knew it, but couldn't get it out of my head.

Beyonce was on the in person test I took two years ago. I got it right then

the first time I tested, Maggie came out and said it was 35. Since then, they have been consistent about not divulging.

But her "Sasha Fierce" album/persona just came out recently. She must be trying to duplicate the huge success that Garth Brooks enjoyed with "Chris Gaines".
