The Chicago School of Jeopardy

The University of Chicago continues its dominance of game show intellectuals. See here. Of course the big question is why this recent grad is working in a low-paying staff job for one of the 16 republican members of the 200 member Massachusetts General Court. (note-There were more republicans in the legislature until Mitt campaigned for them).

LA Guy: What do you think of his analysis for success? Knowledge is great but what you really need is buzzer mastery.

LAGuy responds: He's absolutely right. On your average Jeopardy! question (if that's the word), at least two of the contestants have the right answer and it's a race to see who can buzz in fastest. This is mostly hand-eye coordination and was the weakest aspect of my game.
