Test taken.
That was horrible. I blanked on the very first question (Marie Kando) and it went downhill from there.

If you saw something falling like a rock past you in the beginning, that was me.
LCF and I each took the practice test of 30 clues shortly before. She got 23.
I got 2. She didn't believe me. But that's what I got. There were three more answers I could have got right, but thought of them too late to type enough in.
For the actual test, I got more than 2, but not by much, and only because there were 50 clues.
I think LCF put herself in the running again. We'll see.

Would you like a beating?

I took the Tuesday evening test and it sounds like it was a little easier. I blanked on a few (couldn’t remember Pennywise the clown or E.L. James and of course, forget the pop music question!) but I felt really good about a lot of them. Not as good as the year I made it to the in-person audition, though.

Lady Cranefly just got notified.
She moves on to the in-person audition stage.
Not that it exists anymore -- at least not in its prior form.
So this Friday she ZOOMs.
RE: Jeopardy - Greg - 06-08-2020
Excellent! Good luck to Lady Crane fly!
RE: Jeopardy - Drunk Monk - 06-08-2020
Go LCF!
Can you remember to answer in the form of a question?

What is “go, Lady CF”?
RE: Jeopardy - Greg - 06-08-2020
Yeti, ftw.
RE: Jeopardy - The Queen - 06-12-2020
So, LCF, how did it go???

It started out a little rocky. All I had to do was take the 50-question test (by answering the questions out loud) but I couldn't hear the proctor. We futzed between my laptop and phone and she started a new Zoom session before that worked out.
The test went okay, I think. Once again, I messed up a current music question, though I got the Billie Eilish one, and somehow I remembered that Walloons were associated with Belgium. I blanked on "Don't Stop Believing," but remembered it after the next question, though I don't know if that still counted. And I totally spaced President Pro Tempore of the Senate and Sappho. I kept thinking Solon for Sappho and even though I knew it was wrong I couldn't get it out of my head.
I feel like I started pretty strong and then got bogged down.
They recorded the session. I'll be notified in a few weeks if I go to the next level, though I don't know what that is at this point. During previous auditions it was the mock game.
Fingers crossed.
Cranefly rocked Final Jeopardy tonight. (If anything about Jeopardy can be rocked.) :-)
