Well that seemed to be the easiest of the three. I think I got 46.

Good luck to the left-coasters.

I thought it was harder than the one I took year before last, which everyone else seemed to think was hard. I guess it's all in what you know.

I wrote down my answers (or questions if I had no clue) so I can add some approximate questions if somebody can't remember them all and you're recreating it.

There were two questions that I don't even know how to look up because they were so foreign to me. Can anyone figure out what I'm talking about?

Something about a number domain being the sum of x and what is the sum of y.

A 3 country treaty that was a point of contention during the presidential campaign.

A Turkish strait that goes into the Black Sea.

Math, politics and geography. Whee.

Range; NAFTA; Bosphorus

I seemed to manage a passing score despite the fact that I was interrupted by my son saying that he needed for me to come upstairs and "help him".

I hate it when I sort of know stuff, it's worse than not having a clue. I thought the strait started with a B, so I put down Bering even though I know where that is and I put down NATO for the treaty even though I knew it was wrong because I had the NA in my head. I wonder if that will be accepted as bad spelling? Ha!

Looks like I got 44. There are a couple that I'm pretty sure about. Not positive, but sure enough that I dont feel like looking them up.

I almost put NATO myself.

I had a couple where the answer hit me as the time ran out. On a written test, I would have been able to correct when I got a later question done early.

I do know the areas that I need to study if I ever made it on the show.

Ditto for me, on both counts (although Tuesday's was the one that counted for me -- but I still passed that one, and I guess that's all that matters).

This was the easiest of the 3 for me, and the only one I would've passed (using 35 as the cutoff).

The Rutgers question was one of my BAM questions!

BEFORE & AFTER: Springsteen's matches.

Saw the questions on the Jeopardy Board; it was the easiest of the three. I would have had 44-45.

I love when there is this kind of excitement and sharing of scores and questions.

Reminds me of the old days.

Played along with the transcript on the J! Board. I believe I would have gotten a 40 on this one. I will refrain from saying it was the easiest of the three tests this week. Instead, I will say that this test hit fewer of my trivia blank spots.

just to see that I/we dont get forgotten up here, even for a day.

NAFTA aint just US and Mexico.

US, Mexico and CANADA.

Canada-US free trade antedated NAFTA

I said 3 country treaty.

Like Calvinator, I won't say that this was the easiest, but it certainly fit me best and my few guesses worked out. My scores this week were: 45, 41, 48.

Taking this test in a non stressful environment I got 40 compared with 33 on Tuesday.

I couldn't take the test because of night meetings, but I'm pretty sure I woulda not done so well. The in person tests are more conducive, because,although you only have 8 seconds during it there's something about not being on the computer that helps. Oh, yes, I did pass the test a couple of years ago in Houston. Thought I did swimmingly in the mock game! Made them laugh!
They dint call.

Anyway, maybe next time I'll try the online test again. Or if they come around. I'm not sure I'd do so well in the real deal anymore only because it's tougher to pull shit out of my ass than it used to be.

Crap! I got the reminder email. I had it written in my datebook. And I still forgot.
