I've surprised myself on more than one occasion while watching Jeopardy.
I'll just guess something and then just about have a heart attack when no
one gets it and I turn out to be right.
Life, don't talk to me about life.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Jeopardy?
Hi Jim,
Sure. Same here. There are certain categories on Jeopardy I don't know
anything about as well. I have had some education in opera and classical
music, but I certainly don't know enough about either to be really
competent in either genre. I am only able to pick out the more popular
or well known pieces when I hear them, but for the most part I'm pretty
clueless. :D
Anyway, as you said knowing the solution to a question or puzzle is
pretty pointless. That's why I also haven't created any trivia engines,
puzzle based games, etc. I just couldn't take any pleasure in playing a
game where I knew most of the answers to begin with.
Cheers!

Hi Thomas,
Depending on the category I can answer every question as well. But due to
lack of education or lack of interest there are categories that I would
not know a single question. You know maybe like opera, classical music,
Broadway shows, current movies or current pop culture. But that is also
why I mostly write games with random elements rather than puzzles. I mean
if I know the answers to the game, where would be the fun for me to play
it?
