Dire Jeopardy
Tonight's the night, tonight I take the online test that is the first step toward being a contestant on Jeopardy! My greatest concern is the nature of the test: typed responses to written questions. Reading the clue has always been essential to my playing-along-at-home success, but quite often I blurt out the answer, not in the form of a question, at the last second. My concern is that I shan't have time to type the answers once they come to me. I do not regard the anticipated difficulty of the test as a concern, because it is a variable over which I have no control. Concerns are only those things it is within my power to affect.

Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
