Year In Jeopardy
Long-time readers (otherwise known as “Grandma”) will maybe, possibly remember that I keep track of how many right and wrong answers I get on the annual Jeopardy calendar. Here is last year’s post about how smart I wasn’t. Last year I hit 73% right on the answers.
I kinda thought each year I would get a little smarter. A little wiser.
Nope. Just finished up this year’s, and I only came in at 69% smart for the year. Only being 69% smart is very very scarily close to being…not smart!
I am trying hard not to blame it on the fact that one of the final topics was Greenland. The closest country to Greenland is this one, a mere sixteen miles away. Greenland is an autonomous dependency of this nation. A peninsula in northern Greenland is named for this arctic explorer who had his sights set even further north.
At least I knew Justin Timberlake was one of the members of ‘N Sync. Kept me from being dumb.

So is Justin Timberlake from Greenland?

Greenland was “one of the final topics.” recent pop music stuff was another. I rocked in that category.

How can you have the year end review on December 15?
Is the question what is Canada or is it asking for the guy?
I bet Ken Jennings knows……

Yep. Canada.
Yep. Denmark.
Nope. Peary.
I don’t know how I can end it on the 15th. Just the way it goes. ?

I remember teaming up with a good friend one year in a competition based on this calendar. The losing team had to buy pizza, which, looking back, seems like we got off kinda light after a full 365 days of competition. Anyway…continue the tradition – treat yourself to a great pizza and that’ll make getting dumber feel a lot better.

Oh yeah! I remember that! It’s okay to be dumb. If you’re too smart you start thinking you have all the answers.
