Suck it Trebek

I've mentioned our little Jeopardy league at work in the past. Every day, I send out the Jeopardy question of the day to a small group of 13 other people. We keep score based on the point value of each question. It's usually a nice way to start the day. It can occasionally be frustrating since I am in the lower half of the league when it comes to trivia, primarily because there are way too many pop culture questions.

Last year, our group had an average correct response rate of 56%. BuckeyeBoy lead the way by answering around 75% of the questions correct and TheExCubemate was worst around 35%. I think I somehow got stuck with the super hard Jeopardy calendar this year. The highest % correct score is 64% and five people are currently below 35%, including myself. I find the start of the day to me incredibly frustrating when I cannot answer the question of the day. Seriously. There were questions about the moons of Saturn and random-ass paperback authors from the 1950s that no one has every heard of. This blows.

The highlight of my day is now the wise-ass responses people send in, with the exception of RoopDogg's Dr. Seuss themed poem that ripped on Tom Brady this past Monday when he could not identify the 'Before and After' question about a Kentucky city that was the setting for Sam-I-Am's adventure.
