When I was young, I think I could have done OK on Jeopardy except I would have been so nervous that I probably would have frozen up.
I am now in my 60’s and it is still my favorite show. I still know the answers to a lot of questions but can’t come up with the answer in a short time. I know I know it, just can’t come up with it.
If they would give me five minutes for every answer I thing I still would do OK.
About 20 years ago, a buddy of mine got on the show. He was an Army E-8 and was a member of MENSA. We figured he’d run the table, but he had some issues with hitting the buzzer and ended up with a big goose egg. I’m afraid the same thing would happen to me, even though I’m nowhere near being MENSA class.
But information retrieval does sorta degrade over time doesn't it? :)
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH!
