“But so was Ken Jennings when he had his big run too against other people”
I always figured Jennings’ secret was that he clicked in before he knew the answer. But that was his risk, and anyone could have taken it.
I'd agree, but as I recall, he didn't do it unless he thought he could retrieve that answer in time. I didn't see him miss too many. (The guy is really good)
As I get older and watch that show, it's 'I know I know" but the answer does not pop to my lips as quickly as it once did. Years ago, "I could have been a contender", but now, I know I know it, but I simply can't get the answer out as fast. Just like baseball... my reaction time is way down.
Blame it on the Budwiser. ;~))
“I always figured Jennings’ secret was that he clicked in before he knew the answer. But that was his risk, and anyone could have taken it.”
I wondered out loud if they can press the button before the entire answer is read. My son said no, not sure if he is correct or not. (Probably is!)
