This show was taped in October, after Gravity was released; otherwise it would have been horribly hard. Even so, how many contestants could choose correctly among three Sandra Bullock movies with titles that are physical quantities? I studied a lot of physics, so I know the four fundamental forces are

Spoiler

gravity, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear

.

On a related note, retroactive good luck to Jeopardy! College Championship finalist Terry O'Shea, from my alma mater. In the semifinal round, she was the only one to get Final Jeopardy right, even though she's an English major and the category was Physics.

How about that! Someone who remembers the infamous "llama" episode and gets to mention it on the show. Too bad she wasn't a BB and could relate how he's been immortalized by our little community.

Ouch! I think she was too eager and didn't take the time to read the question carefully. Speed isn't one of the four fundamental forces of nature (the others, I think, are electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear).

Yeah. And while at least seven of those long years that she's been waiting for her turn were spent reaching legal age, many of us, who could also rant long and hard about llamas, have been auditioning for nought.

What really gets my llama is how Cedric runs with the joke, as he jokes about every topic, when I'd bet he was entirely unaware of that show history.
