Here's my plan. "Jeopardy" is coming to Seattle to audition new contestants. I have an appointment to try out. If I make it, I'll get the truck painted with all my winnings.
Now here's my question. Anybody out there ever done this before ? Any tips or tricks ?

You have about 10 seconds to write down the answer (in the form of a question!) before they go one to the next one. They do not go back! If you miss it, too bad! They count the correct answers, and if you make the cut, they'll tell you...but they don't say how many you got right/wrong, regardless. I tried out in Belgium when they came over to test US Forces applicants several years ago...Out of 134 people that tried out at that time, ONE made it.
Good luck on coming up with that Stovebolt money!
