<center>Welcome to the DIS CB
game!
</center>
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?

Jeopardy question -
"What is asthma?"
"What is asthma?"
Well yepod, since I never saw the movie from beginning to end, your clue threw me off! I got the IHSEIM today, LOL. I have another idea, but the tongue is throwing me off.
Bernie, not only Hunchback, but Tapestry of Dreams too. I wonder if they'll have a new parade at Epcot. I always thought that was so moving. I'll miss it.

Good morning everyone! I am striking out with my riddle guess so far... but I am pretty sure another cup of coffee will help do the trick.
Congratulations glo, spb and Bernie on your posting milestones - my but you are all a CHATTY bunch!
To the two who are not feeling well - glo & diane- get some rest and I sure hope you feel better soon.
Bernie - sounds like a great car for the need at hand!
diane - I was very sad to read through your son's tragic experience. What an awful thing to have gone through.
I wish him success and joy in his next education experience. Looking forward to a few pics of the construction progress.
Fighting a cold today myself. DD had it over the weekend bad - lasted through til yesterday. She seemed alot better last night. Now I have a runny nose and sore throat. Unfortunately... I am traveling for business Saturday - so I am likely to be flying cross country with congestion. YUCK! Oh well.

Hey Bro. I will have to make sure DD doesn't see this thread. If she finds out your DS is getting a car, she will think she should have one too. She is already balking at getting her license because "what's the point when I won't have a car?" That sounds like what we would like to find.
