I must admit, my first instinct was to turn this in to a joke and go with someone I wanted to do instead of something, but, after a bit of introspection, I decided to take it seriously.  My dreams of playing professional sports were dashed long ago (a consequence, I suppose, of being in your late 30s), so that meant I had to do some thinking before landing on this: being a contestant on Jeopardy.

Last year, I took the online contest search test for the first time and I don’t think I did particularly well.  I even missed questions that I should have known (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was originally published in Swedish, not Danish.)  But, watching the show, I still think I could do well.  So, when it is offered, I will take the test again and hopefully move on to the next steps: the in-person test.
