Dear god, the first part of the game kicked my ass, but the Jack Attack was easy.

12,787

Woo, I need more people doing worse than I am to get a higher ranking, I'm 6/8 with over $16428.

Playing while drunk -does- impact your score. Trigger finger and luring answers. No duh.

DAMN IT (Nate)! Who the HELL are all those people in the JA? I was doing so well up to then. My score's too shameful to mention.

Slightly redeeming is the little eyeball-easter-egg thing. Click between the two ads ("bundles" and "Devry") and scoot the mouse pointer up, through the stars, and just under the eyes. Hot pink and red flaming eyeballs.

Still ticked off about the JA, tho.....

How sad is it that I nailed the Attack? 19,019 and 7/19.

Oh, and My First Post! Hello Jack world!

Jack, we know how much it hurts you to see this but I made it to the top - more than 25000 smackers

1/23 - must say the jack attack was really tough this time

Scored #2... if only I knew Nick Lachey other than as a "famous husband" person...

doing well up until the JA. Oh, and "Newspaper" was spelled wrong on question #5... forgot the "s" sorry I sucked, so it's okay.

Thank. -Jellyvision

Somehow, I just knew platypuses (not platypusses, Jellyvision!) were going to make it into that DoD. Or is it only in the Lands Down Under that you get what makes them unusual drilled into you at school?

(that's how we spelled it!) - Jellyvision

suck. total.

11k not bad :D

My worst YDKJ ever because of the JA--who the hell WAS Nick Lachey with before he became Mr. Jessica Simpson?

Gah. It sucks when you've never heard of 5 of 7 Jack Attack answers.

Less than 6k ... man, that reeked.

Almost exactly in the middle. I can handle that.

That was one of the easier ones in recent memory. $19,151.

Cookie: ONE Dis or Dat a week can't hurt, can it? I have withdrawal.

Mediocre again. I did alright on the DoD, and perfect on the JA, but almost everything else... ::shudders::

I'm in 10th place? O_o

How in the hell did THAT happen?

sweet... 5/141

It's sad when I know more about egg laying animals instaed of music. :/

Hey Jellyvision...if you feel like it, pull my name off the leaderboard for this one...the game locked up completely on me after Q#6 the first time, so I had a bit of help the second time I played it. (For the record: originally, I missed two questions.)

(Unlike some people, I'll admit when I had a wind-aided performance...)

I did okay ($17,045 60/182), but I did feel cheated on one of the questions:

(*** SPOILER ALERT!! ***)

In the current genus of Trivial Pursuit, Science & Nature is now the brown wedge, and since it didn't say "original" version of the game, that probably should also be a correct answer. I'm not asking for my score to be changed (because that would signify... what?), just for Jellyvision to acknowledge that it is also a valid answer (because that would signify... okay, nothing again, but it's the principle, dangit).

Rollercoastery episode for me: burned on the Jim Carey question because I didn't understand it, and the Trivial Pursuit question for the same reason listed above (I don't mind though; I'm just happy I remembered what a shoofly pie is). On the other hand, I came up with a couple of inspired guesses, laughed at the Dis or Dat tag, and aced the Jack Attack.

Speaking of, while I was playing the JA, I was wondering how many people get 7/7 by getting all the answers right the first time around (i.e. without waiting until all the answers fly by and answering when they get a second crack at the clue). And then I wondered what life would be like if players were awarded an extra $2,000 for getting 7/7 the first time around. I think it could add a potentially diabolical element when people start knocking down their scores on "first sight guessing" in an attempt to reach for 16 grand.

Just a random thought.

Curse you, Jellyvision, for giving me such easy questions and setting up a potential new personal record, only to give me a Jack Attack that's impossible!

Finally, a Jack Attack that kicked my a$$! Just what I needed!

$12,734 ($8,734 from everything but the Attack)

I did okay at this one. I aced the JA, well, except for my stupid trigger finger, but that only missed me one. Now I must go hide, I am so very ashamed of myself for knowing every answer on the JA.

Yay crappy music?

I'm pissed about a question too -- Trivial pursuit came out in 1982, (before I was born) and that's the version you must have been using, rather than the more recent version, which lists these colors

* Blue — People and Places
* Pink — Arts and Entertainment
* Yellow — History
* Brown — Science and Nature
* Green — Sports and Leisure
* Orange — Wild Card

Which explains my confusion that Arts and Entertainment was brown (until I looked up the old version on the web) -- if there's anything wierder than a green pie, it's a pink pie.

I ended up with a negative score on that episode -- mostly because although I knew all the possible choices, I had to match them up by what made sense (and it goes without saying that several of them are almost clones of each other)

wow, this is a very canadian edition: CN Tower, trivial persuit (invented here), Jim Carrey.... thanks for the late canada day treat...

i should have rocked the JA, but all I can say is "no duh"

Actually, platypuses & echidnas r monotremes, meaning that they can both lay eggs & give live birth, I got lucky though & picked the right one even though they screwed up. Also, I feel stupid for thinking that Gwen Stefani was in "No Duh". Lol, 23,711, take that! 21/509, I've done better but it's still a respectable score.
