How has your life changed since your appearance on Jeopardy!?
Has my life changed since my previous Jeopardy! experience? I'd say yes. Um... People know me at school now. Uh, I'll walk down, and people will say "Hello" or "Are you really that guy?" and I'll be like, "Sure." Um, my professors all know my name, which is--is very useful when getting letters of recommendation, things like that. It's... Yeah, I mean, everybody that I work with kinda knows who I am. I get a lot of respect for it. It's nice.
What do you think makes a great Jeopardy! player?
What do I think makes a great Jeopardy! player? Um, more than anything, I'd say, uh, buzzer speed. Uh... The people that get on the show know a lot of things, uh, they'r every good at trivia, and I think what separates good players from, y'know, people who know a lot of trivia is the ability to hit the button when the lights come on.
What categories are you hoping for?
Uh, TECHNOLOGY. SCIENCE. Those would be excellent. Anything with computers, I feel like, y'know, that's my strong point. So, hopefully something like that will come up.
How did you prepare for this Tournament?
Uh, how did I prepare for this Tournament? I just went home every night and I would watch Jeopardy! and try to answer in the form of a question. Uh, that's really all I did. Um... nothing else. |
