So what score did you get be honest. I got $1700.

"Old Money" really killed me, plus I couldn't find a way to skip questions I had no idea about.

I got -$2500, which tells me that I'm not a good Jeopardy candidate. Also because there is no option to skip a question. My lack of knowledge of Wall Street history and lingo hurt me the most.

-$2100.

-$300. I misunderstood the "smallest total dollar amount" question. I did especially poorly on the Old Money column, missing every question...

+500. A typo cost me a bunch, and using only the answer's last name cost me even more. One question was so badly worded I didn't understand what they wanted. If I new what they wanted I would have gotten it right.

1700 more if I didn't make a typo.

Doesn't even have to be a typo - a space at the end of a one-word answer gets it wrong.

-400

+700. Exceptionally mediocre.

WOOT WOOT!! And the reverse winner is........PKFFW!!

-$3100

In my defence they are questions about USA stuff. I'd probably do no better on Australian stuff anyway but you never know.

I got $1500. It helped to be old (Susan B. Anthony) and bilingual (Dupont). It hurt to not be American.

Trivia question for Canadians - where did the Toronto Stock Exchange originate? And it was not in Toronto.

Mississippi Mudstache · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2015, 01:48:37 PM »

Shit. $100. That was a poor showing.

NoraLenderbee · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2015, 10:07:34 PM »

$1900

Drifterrider · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2015, 08:14:56 AM »

$1,500 but they didn't give me the points for Schwab because I didn't type in the first name.

$1100. I missed almost all of the low dollar value ones and then crushed the last few expensive ones. Also would have done better if you could skip.

Bardo · « **Reply #17 on:** July 14, 2015, 10:10:06 AM »

$3300 baby!

forummm · « **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2015, 05:16:58 PM »

I got a perfect score the 2nd time I took it.

Zamboni · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2015, 06:50:51 PM »

^well done.

A measley $300 for me. I killed the wall street category but was spotty (at best) on the rest. I guessed "Master of Coin" on one, which I realized right as I was doing it was from Game of Thrones. Mech.

I was still negative on go two.

Three was positive, but four was the worst showing of all!
