But would we get the answer out in a timely manner or ramble off in tangents and history until the show was over?

Sure we could. They would probably get sick of hearing, "What is the Miata?" for every response though.

True story...

My brother used to temp in LA. Long time ago- over 15 years ago.

He spent some time temping backstage on the "Jeopardy Show". My brother happens to be pretty geeky, and is particularly nerdy when it comes to the film industry- he's a walking encyclopedia.

Anyway, they asked a film question, and the contestant got it wrong. Was about to be eliminated. My brother happened to be standing next to the Stage Manager, and said, "Actually, the contestant was right. There are 2 correct answers to that question". Of course, the Stage Manager thought he was off his rocker, but paused the filming to review the tape and the question. When they found he was right, they re-recorded the segment with the contestant getting the question right.

So, my claim to fame is that my brother is smart enough that he once corrected the "Jeopardy Show".

Do I win any internetz? Didn't think so.

I killed it this time, minus a couple that i got but couldn't type in time. I think i got 40/50 right plus a couple more that i may have guessed correctly. I hate the waiting game too.

Here is a handy response...

"Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?"

Best of luck to both of you!
