Lammycat Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 2/3 is the reciprocal of 3/2Yeah, it is. My fifth graders will be proud to know I typed in "opposite." Eh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It sounds like you had the same categories we had last night but different questions. I think "liver giver" was the answer to our rhyming question. I was hoping they'd at least send us our scores, but I double checked the FAQs, and the only way you know if you passed is if they contact you, and even everyone who passes doesn't get a chance for an audition.

gogo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 My niece and nephew took the kids' test on Tuesday. They each probably got about half the questions right. I told them that they probably did better than I did last time I took this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm technically still in the contestant pool until summer, but at this point I'm guessing I won't be getting that phone call. I wonder if I can take the test this time, or if I have to wait until the next round to be eligible again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks. I thought it was 24 months, but evidently not. By the time the test takes place, I'll be about two weeks short of 18 months. Hmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

explodo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I am quite excited about trying this and likely failing. I do pretty well on about half the episodes. But I watch daily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Good Lord - flashbacks of how awful I did last time. Me too. I'll try again this year if I remember, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I am quite excited about trying this and likely failing. I do pretty well on about half the episodes. But I watch daily. I watch every day too. I might take the test but I'd be afraid of getting a lot of questions I happen to know the answers to, and then get on the show and make a total fool out of myself when I end up knowing 10-20% of the answers like I normally do. When I get Final Jeopardy right I call my grandmother so she can bask in my excellence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I did it a couple of years ago. Thought I did quite well though I'll never forgive myself for choking on Laurence Fishburne's name!! I'm convinced if I'd come up with it, I would've gotten the call, probably not though.
