Good morning Meister and friends! Welcome JohnG (sorry, I don't know how to make the little Mickey)!

Bernie, you know how I HATE word/math questions, don't you? They always make my brain hurt! DH is the one who gets these, but he is out of town, and it is too early to call DS!:o I am a musician, so I use the OTHER part of my brain!:rolleyes:

SOOOOO glad the Twins are playing at home again for the rest of the season! They have won both nights home since the road trip and seemed to need the home field advantage to do it! I can't go to the game tonight because I have to pick DH up at the airport, but we will be there tomorrow night again. Both of the last two games were won the hard way! Last night went into 12 innings!

<center>Welcome to the DIS CB
http://worldzone.net/travel/oldkicker//oldkicker/jeopardy.gif
game!

This is going to be the slowest-moving Jeopardy game you've ever seen. Other than that, it should work much like good old Jeopardy did, except that anyone can join in any time and play for as long as they like.

Each weekday, sometime between 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. eastern time, I'll post the answer. Your job is to supply the question. Post your questions right on this thread. The first to post the correct question will get the points for that question. You'll also have control of the board and can select the next answer.

No deduction will be made for incorrect answers. So have some fun with it!

I'll accept answers through noon - 12:30 p.m. eastern time. (The exact time will depend on my work schedule). I will try to give a final notice a few moments ahead of time so that you can post your last-minute thoughts. Note that ALL wrong questions posted will be penalized. At that time I'll post the correct question and adjust point totals and I'll ask the DISer who got the correct question to select the next answer. You'll have until 7:30 - 8:30 the following weekday to let me know.

I recognize that post editing can happen, but I'm putting that thought out of mind, knowing as I do the wonderful integrity of all of our CB community......besides - it's only a game.

Note that the answers and questions will increase in difficulty as the point values rise. There will also be one Daily Double in the Jeopardy round and two in the Double Jeopardy round. If you hit the daily double you can wager any portion of your current points or up to 150 points in the Jeopardy round and 300 points in the Double Jeopardy round if you find your point total to be less than 150 or 300 in those respective rounds. (These amounts may change. I'm worried that there may be enough players to dilute the ability to score points without the Daily Doubles and that someone may answer JUST the Daily Doubles and win the game.)

After the two Jeopardy rounds are played, all DISers who have a positive point total will get to play Final Jeopardy. In that round, I'll post a category and give you a day to PM me your wager. You can wager any part or all of your points. After all of the wagers have been received, I'll post the Final Jeopardy answer. All left playing will then PM me their Final Jeopardy question.

I'll post the results after that!

The winner will get a fabulous prize from yours truly. Perhaps it will be something smart-looking...;)

Did I mention that kibitzing is strongly encouraged? :jester:

Oh yeah - I just dread the minute she walks in the door and tells me how much homework she has every night - for example last night - math 2 pages, science 2 worksheets, language arts 2 worksheets and two pages from the library even - of course when I saw the science was all to do done in the metric system - I just about ran screaming out of the room

Nag, nag, nag. All I do is clean up around this place.

So, in the private messaging, there is a place that is supposed to show the percent of private messaging space used. Mine never shows anything. Does anyone else's? What is it there for.

I think that percentage indicator is only available in the 'corey' style set. I just switched over to that and my indicator doesn't show anything either, Sis.

And thanks for cleaning up. :)
